It’s delightful to be back with Libby and her friends as they embark on their next big adventure! The travelling school has landed in a new location – New York City! Everything is larger than life and so exciting!
Jo Clarke has a wonderful talent for pulling readers right into the story. Each clue is hidden under layers of brilliant characterisation and settings that ignite the imagination. New York comes alive with its yellow taxis, skyscrapers and other significant landscapes.
The children spend time with Eloise (Connie’s glamorous godmother) and her suspicious friend, Count Alvarez. When the count’s fundraising money is stolen, they know it’s time to do some investigating. Uncovering secret identities, wearing disguises, and even trying out some accents lead them on a dangerous journey to discover the truth!
Libby and the Manhattan Mystery is the third book in this outstanding series. We feel like we’re really getting to know Libby now with her intelligence, loyalty to her friends and determination to solve each mystery. She doesn’t hesitate when facing real risk. Readers are left challenged, with the promise of even more mystery to come in the next book.
Thank you so much to Firefly Press for this fantastic book!
