Detective Brother: Jamie's Amazing Cape Adventure

Author: Pete JohnsonIllustrator: Mike Phillips

Jamie and Harry are brothers, but as with any family they do not always get on with each other, to put it mildly. So when they go on holiday along with Jamie’s best friend Reema and also Aunt Nora it should be fun, right? Wrong, as it happens – because Harry ‘borrows’ Jamie’s magic cape without asking; and as if that is not enough the children get involved in an oil spill and a string of robberies to boot. ‘What a holiday,’ as the brothers say at the end of the book – and what a book to read and laugh over, which young readers will certainly do. Worth buying for its amusement value alone, this book will also help motivate more reluctant readers to see what happens next.
