Letty and the Mystery of the Word Thieves #2 - Paperback

LONDON, 1775

After her previous solo escapades around Europe, Lettice Breech's father is nervous about going away on business without her.

Safe in their home city and in the care of an enthusiastic young guardian, Hera Goodchild, Letty is happy to stay behind. With their trusty butler, Fortnum, to look after her and cook Nell to prepare delicious meals, surely the time without Pa will simply fly by?

But despite her very best intentions not to stir up trouble, Letty soon finds herself embroiled in a thrilling new mystery. Secret notes are exchanged through newspapers with an enigmatic frenemy, puzzling clues hidden in dictionaries lead her on a whirlwind treasure trail around 18th-century London, and there is even—nearly—a murder...

In her continued search for the truth, can Letty use her deductive skills to unravel the mystery of the word thieves?

An exciting middle-grade adventure from debut author Penny Boxall, perfect for fans of Netflix's Enola Holmes, the humour of Hana Tooke's The Unadoptables, and the caper-filled adventure of Katherine Rundell's Rooftoppers.
