Summary

The Case of the Smuggler’s Curse is the first in a brand-new series of adventure stories for kids that brings together the best traditions of Enid Blyton, Jacqueline Wilson and David Walliams.

Lucy, Max, Charlie and Joe aren’t looking for new friends - they have too many of their own problems to worry about. But when the four of them and Charlie’s faithful dog, Sherlock, spot a phantom figure on Southwold beach one winter’s night, they are thrown together to unravel a mystery that none of them expected. Just who is the ghostly spectre that walks the sands of Southwold with a lantern in his hand? What is the connection to the ancient curse that hangs over the town? And is the respectable Quentin De Havilland everything he pretends to be? If the five friends can learn to work together, they might just solve the mystery - if only they can stop arguing with each other first.

I loved it

I loved this book it inspired my daughter to reach out of her comfort zone and make new friends and we loved the bravery of the little dog I think we would raight this age wise a 6+ because there are some like difficult bits like understanding how and what smuggler’s do and like the whole concept of it is also quite sad so yeah I rate it a 6+
