With help from old and new friends, he sets out to discover why she has always kept him away from water, in a story that is by turns hilarious and heart-breaking. In \u003cem\u003eYou Won't Believe This\u003c\/em\u003e, Cymbeline turns detective after someone starts doing terrible things to his favourite teacher, Mrs Martin. He also supports his friend Veronique, whose grandmother Nanai is gravely ill and hiding a secret from her escape from Vietnam as a young refugee. In \u003cem\u003eThis Wonderful Thing\u003c\/em\u003e, a bedraggled teddy bear pulled from a river by a girl called Jessica sets off a chain of events that collides with Cymbeline's world after his home is burgled by thieves strangely interested only in his toys, including his own precious bear, Not Mr Fluffy. Together, the two children uncover a mystery spanning decades that will change both their families. Across all three books, Adam Baron writes with warmth, wit and real emotional depth, tackling grief, identity, belonging and resilience in a way that is accessible and never heavy-handed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree complete, brand-new paperback novels in one great-value set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarnegie Medal-shortlisted, Waterstones Book of the Month series opener\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for independent readers aged 9-12 who love mystery and heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTackles friendship, family and big feelings with humour and warmth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA genuinely giftable set for birthdays, Christmas or reading rewards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for fans of David Solomons, Ross Welford and Katherine Rundell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdam Baron is the author of several acclaimed novels for children and adults.
