Murder! By Narwhal!

Alex T. Smith
Murder! by Narwhal! book cover

When the tyrannical family patriarch Sir Ignatious Gristle is murdered on his 90th birthday at his country estate, every one of his gathered family members is a suspect. Trapped by a snowstorm with no way to contact the police, it's up to his mettlesome granddaughter, Edna, and her trusted tortoise, Charles Darwin, to determine whodunnit!

Full of head-scratching clues, page-turning twists and a lot people acting suspiciously, this is the first in a spoofy middle-grade murder mystery series. Outrageously funny and lavishly illustrated – a verbal and visual treat!

The fantastic mystery, Murder! By Narwhal! by Alex T. Smith, is the focus book for Autumn term 2 at Read It! Children’s Book Club.
