Cruise Ship Kid: Kidnap At Sea!

Jump on board again with Silver, the Cruise Ship Kid, as she solves another crime in the second book in the hilarious and bestselling detective adventure series from author and West-End actress, Emma Swan.

Hi, I'm Silver (yes, really) and I'm back! Here are 4 more things you should know about me:
1. I still live on a cruise ship...
2. But two days ago we moved to a brand-new ship!
3. I'm now definitely a detective!
4. And I need your help investigating my second case!

Since my last diary, Mum's been promoted and we now live on a cruise ship with a mini-golf course, an ice-cream parlour and a MEGA SLIDE! And The Gang, my amazing friends who are all over 80, have come along too!

I thought my biggest challenge this cruise would be to convince Mum to buy me a phone. But now a SUPER FAMOUS INFLUENCER has been KIDNAPPED, The Gang unhelpfully keep taking over my investigations, and we still can't find her.

So, do you want to be definitely-a-detective too and help me solve the kidnap at sea?

THIS BOOK IS:
- 50% crime-solving + 50% getting creative = 100% FUN!
- Written in diary form
- Inspired by the author's childhood growing up on an actual cruise ship!
- Filled with doodles, activities and lots of space to scribble!
- Pamela Butchart meets Tom Gates, set at sea
