EMILY LIME is the one and only Librarian Detective! As Assistant Librarian (and a pupil!) at St Rita's School, she's got the sharpest mind going. And she's going to need it! There's been a bank robbery in town, a break-in at the school and a dastardly villain is on the loose. With the help of new girl, Daphne, and George (the only boy), Emily is determined to get to the bottom of things, with surprising and very funny results . . .

Hilarious crime-solving capers at a brilliantly crazy boarding school.

About the Author
Born and raised in Leicester, Dave now lives in Suffolk with a brilliant woman, a beautiful girl, a bonkers dog and an inexcusable cat. He is the creator of the slapstick comedy noir comic strip Good Dog, Bad Dog, as seen in the DFC, the Guardian and The Phoenix. His debut prose novel for children, A Boy and a Bear in a Boat, which he also illustrated, was shortlisted for the Costa children's prize and the Carnegie medal, and won the Branford Boase award. He is fond of cake.
