Murder Most Unladylike
by Robin Stevens
At a 1930s boarding school, Hazel finds a mistress dead in the gym. By the time she fetches Daisy the body has gone, so the two of them investigate alone.
A story about children, adventurous and wry in tone. We would put it with children of 9–12, and at a reading age of about 10 for reading alone.
Worth knowing before you buy
- A character dies
None of this makes it a bad book — often the opposite. It is here so you can decide whether it is right for your child now or in a year or two.
Part of a series
This is book 1 of the Murder Most Unladylike series, so there is more to read if it goes down well — which is worth a great deal with a reluctant reader.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
