On The Lemoncurd Trail

For 9-10 year old girls Crash! And there lay Kim's father in the dirty alley, soaked to the skin and covered in mud and blood, his day's takings from the shop - gone! Then there was poor old Bridie, 86 years old and robbed of all her shopping. "Why?" asks Kim. "Who would do such things?" Horrified, she wishes she were back at Blamtree, with her dear old pal Jaimie, far away from this miserable new district where folks are mean enough to mug friendly, hard-working shopkeepers and steal from frail old ladies. But her new chum, Colin, cheers her up. "Keep your eyes and ears open," he tells her and by so doing they get their first clue. But is it such a mistake for folk to be seen eating lemoncurd sandwiches? What a lot Kim finds she has to write to Jaimie about as she sets out with Colin - "On the Lemoncurd Trail". (124 pages)
