Emily Lime - Librarian Detective: The Pencil Case

Description

It's a new term at St Rita's School for Spirited Girls, and there are new mysteries for Emily, Daphne and George to solve! Who has stolen a painting from Pilkington Art Gallery? (And why? It's not even a very good one!) How can they get rid of a new headmistress who threatens the very future of the library? And why are there cows all over the sports field? Expect the unexpected as Emily Lime investigates!

Born and raised in Leicester, Dave now lives in Suffolk with a brilliant woman, a beautiful girl, a bonkers dog and an inexcusable cat. He is the creator of the slapstick comedy noir comic strip Good Dog, Bad Dog, as seen in the DFC, the Guardian and The Phoenix. His debut prose novel for children, A Boy and a Bear in a Boat, which he also illustrated, was shortlisted for the Costa children's prize and the Carnegie medal, and won the Branford Boase award. He is fond of cake.
