Living in her grandmother's London boarding house, she spends her days on chores - until real mysteries land on her doorstep. In The Case of the Stolen Sixpence, Maisie rescues an abandoned puppy and uncovers a tangle of stolen sausages and pilfered coins. From there, the series follows Maisie through seven further cases: a stolen tribal mask, a missing friend and suspicious paw prints, a lodger who isn't what he seems, a golden scarab beetle stripped of its ruby eyes, a family's fortunes threatened by disappearing ships, a spooky cat haunting the neighbourhood, and a boarding-house thief with secrets to hide. Each story is a satisfying, self-contained mystery, rich with Victorian period detail, and Maisie's determination to prove girls can be brilliant detectives too. The books encourage deduction and a love of storytelling, while Maisie's warmth and pluck make her an easy heroine to root for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete 8-book paperback collection in one great-value set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharming Victorian setting full of period detail and atmosphere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA spirited, relatable girl detective heroine children love following\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-contained mysteries perfect for building reading confidence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for fans of gentle whodunits and animal companions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat gift for young mystery-loving readers aged 6-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHolly Webb is a bestselling British children's author who lives in Reading, England.
