Synopsis

11-year-old Sesame Seade, Cambridge s number-one supersleuth, knows that mysteries turn up in unexpected places. But in her third adventure, even unflappable Sesame is surprised to discover a locked treasure chest nestled along the bank of the River Cam. She s certain it belongs to pirates, but before she can investigate, another mystery floats her way: several Cambridge University rowing team members are coming down with a terrible stomach bug and with the world-famous Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge looming, Sesame suspects foul play. Could the treasure chest have something to do with their illness?
It s going to take a kidnapping and a high-speed motorboat chase for Sesame to save the day again!

About this title

Review:

Right from the start, the reader realises that in Sesame, they have a really unusual, if not unique, heroine. Her unusual approach to life makes for a hilarious read, with some wonderful use of language. Complemented by amusing illustrations, this is an author to look out for. (parentsintouch.co.uk)

It's brilliant, really unusual, and had me hooked throughout. (Parents in Touch)

Witty and pun-filled, this book should appeal to any reader who loves mysteries, wordplay and the intricacies of the English language. (Financial Times)
