When Jase's auntie offers to take him and his nana on holiday, he imagines a trip abroad, not one to a Castle Rock Caravan Park in Skegness; however, when he gets there he is quick to make friends. Then, things start to go missing around the park and the crew decide to investigate. With tips from Jase's nana, who just happens to be a retired chief constable of Nottingham Police, can the crew find the culprit before the end of their holiday?
Written in collaboration with Kim Curran, Castle Rock Mystery Crew is a fast-paced adventure. The mystery is a page-turner and the clues the crew uncover will leave readers guessing until the end. I know that Vicky is the founder of Our Dementia Choir and I thought that nana having dementia in the book was sensitively handled. It will help those readers who have grandparents in a similar situation to understand what is happening and will also raise awareness for with others. I have had family members who had dementia so I know the impact it can have; books like this are important for children to be able to access.
Readers will love the relatable characters in the crew who, along with Jase's dog, Sherlock, are determined to crack the case and do the right thing. Family, friendship and adventure all combine to create a great book that will make a great read this summer.
Publishing 11th May, Castle Rock Mystery Crew is perfect for those who like adventure and I can't wait to take it into school next week.
