Last year, we published Murder in Midwinter by Fleur Hitchcock – a fantastically exciting, gripping murder mystery for 9 – 12 year olds, from an author who has, in the words of The Times’ Alex O’Connell, “cornered the market in hard-boilers for beginners.” We loved the book’s striking cover so much that we commissioned its illustrator, Robert Ball, to re-illustrate Fleur’s first two books for Nosy Crow: Dear Scarlett and Saving Sophia – and signed copies of all three books are now available to buy from the Nosy Crow shop!
These are absolutely BRILLIANT stories for middle-grade readers – contemporary thrillers that will keep you guessing until the final page. Here’s a look inside each book.
