Overview
This ten-book paperback collection gathers some of Anthony Horowitz's funniest and most gripping stories for young readers, including five Diamond Brothers capers, the wickedly comic Granny, the historical adventure The Devil and His Boy, and both Groosham Grange school stories. Packed with mystery, mischief and humour, it's a brilliant introduction to a beloved storyteller and a great gift for confident readers aged 9-12.
About the Books
Anthony Horowitz is best known for the bestselling Alex Rider series, but this set spotlights his equally loved comic writing. At its heart are five Diamond Brothers mysteries — The French Confection, The Blurred Man, Public Enemy Number Two, The Falcon's Malteser and South by South East — following accident-prone investigator Tim Diamond and his sharp-witted brother Nick through outlandish cases, from Parisian chaos in The French Confection to a prison mix-up in Public Enemy Number Two. Told with pace and wit, they parody classic detective fiction while entertaining young readers. The Switch adds a fantastical body-swap adventure. Granny, told with dark comic flair, follows a boy convinced his grandmother is plotting something sinister — perfect for readers moving into longer chapter books. The Devil and His Boy shifts tone entirely, transporting readers to Elizabethan London, where orphan Tom Falconer is thrown into a world of thieves and danger. Finally, Groosham Grange and its sequel Return to Groosham Grange combine boarding-school antics with witchcraft, as new pupil David Eliot discovers his unusual school harbours dark secrets. Together, these ten titles showcase the range and versatility that has made Horowitz one of the most read children's authors in the UK.
