This week, we’re giving away three copies of The Clueless Guide to Solving a Mystery by Samera Kamaleddine & illustrated by Hykie Breeze. Stuck living temporarily at a retirement village, Claudia Smith teams up with the most popular kids at school and the most annoying kid to solve a mysterious note that has the elderly residents in a fluster. There's just one problem: they don't have a single clue how to solve a mystery. You can also meet Australian Writers' Centre graduate Samera on our blog and on episode 541 of our podcast. Here’s the blurb:
Inspired by personal experience, this is a very fresh and funny MG series by CBCA shortlisted author Samera Kamaleddine.
I didn't always live with seven old people and one middle-aged cavoodle called Christine …
Claudia Smith's parents have left her to (temporarily) live with her grandparents at Boonside Heights Retirement Village while they're away on a once-in-a-lifetime cruise.
The only good thing? The most popular kids at school, Yasmin and Zayn Bassal, have turned up to visit their grandmother.
The not-so-good thing? Orpheus McAdoo, the most annoying kid at school, is hanging around like a bad smell.
When the discovery of a mysterious note has the oldies in a fluster, Claudia sees an opportunity for the unlikely foursome to get together and solve the mystery. There's just one problem …
They don't have a single clue.
