Description
One average kid. One rare coin. One dangerous criminal. An exciting crime and detective story for children aged 8-12 inspired by the experiences of a primary school teacher.
Frank, Arnie and Badger are just three typical ten-year-olds. They hate school and love computer games. When Frank discovers a valuable coin in the depths of Arnie’s nan’s attic, he thinks his life will change forever. In a way, it does. But not in the way he hopes. Soon, all eyes are on him, someone is found dead and he’s in grave danger!
Who’s watching him in the car park? Who’s been rummaging through his belongings? Frank needs to figure things out quickly because someone’s skulking in the shadows and there’s not much they won’t do to get what they want…
Full of mystery, humour, engaging illustrations and even some additional fun content at the back of the book, In for a Penny is perfect to hook in those reluctant readers of all ages.
Having taught in a British primary school for eight years, Mr Willment has jam-packed the book with school-related humour and hilarious personal experience. It’s an ideal story for teachers to read to their classes to get them discussing culprits and theories and keep them guessing until the very end!
