Our pick for February sees the return of Piotr, Minnie, Andrew, Flora and Sylvie in another thrilling adventure. Spooks and Scooters is the third book in The Marsh Road Mysteries series by the award-winning and much loved children’s author Elen Caldecott. 

Flora and Sylvie are going on the holiday of a lifetime with their dad. But – WHAT? – Dad cancels the trip only hours before the flight because – OH MY GOODNESS – someone has stolen precious blueprints of Dad's latest invention: an amazing new scooter. But who? And why? Time to call on the only five people who can possibly solve the crime!
