First-class fun!

Just perfect storytelling.

Lauren St John knows just how to create the perfect children’s adventure stories… another enthralling adventure… this is exactly the kind of book to encourage children’s interest in the environment and their world as the pages keep turning. Thoroughly recommended.

A book that will inspire kids to be kinder to each other and to the world’s precious animals

Hurrah for a new series from Lauren St John! It’s literary Katnip for the summer holidays — especially for dedicated pet fanciers… St John writes with apparent ease, but refuses to compromise on language while mixing modern life with old-fashioned Blyton-style follow-the-clues mystery. It’s an excellent combo. If this first invigorating book is anything to go by, St John had better start writing some follow-ups.

Everything you want from a Lauren St John book: timeless storytelling with a contemporary edge, thrilling mystery, characterful animals and tenacious children yearning to make their mark on the world.

St John’s book is suspenseful in its shifting possibilities, constructed with care, scattered with information, techno-savvy and engaging in its characterisation

Full of adventure, excitement, heart and wit… Kat Wolfe Investigates is a story to delight in.

St John is a wonderful writer… this is just the sort of thoroughly wholesome novel that should really be consumed outdoors.

Warm, intriguing characterisation with just the right amount of peril – not to mention a resident wildcat.

Kat Wolfe Investigates is the kind of book I’d have devoured as a child – lucky, lucky kids having this to read now.

All you want from a good mystery – a compelling storyline, a determined lead character, heroes and villains, some intriguing animals for a refreshing change… all excellently interwoven

A story with a great sense of adventure, transporting you to that place of excitement when you can’t wait to find out what happens next!
