4-6Sesame Seade Mystery series.
Illustrated by
Sarah Horne.
Sophie Margaret Catriona "Sesame" Seade is a type-A roller-skating detective in Cambridge, England. Here she solves a kidnapping and exposes corporate funding skullduggery. During her investigations she breaks into the Fitzwilliam Museum, steals a canoe, and escapes from bad guys by strapping on wings and launching herself out a window. The pace is rambunctious; the adults, Dahl-nasty. Spot illustrations support the high-octane humor.
