'Nancy Drew and The Parent Trap come together in this bright, funny and clever middle-grade mystery series with a stylish twist! For fans of Friday Barnes and Ruby Redfort.

'Hannah Plum and Patti Woo are staying in a creepy, rundown chalet in the Shadow Mountains National Park, where Patti's aunt Unjoo works as a ranger. The girls' parents are keen to spot an ice owl there, but soon, they're all out looking for Unjoo's stolen dog instead. The only clue is a bit of silver wool on a kennel, and Plum & Woo sense the markings of a crime.

'With rumours of a terrifying silver wolf snapping at their heels, the girls investigate – at their peril. Who's trying to push them off a ski slope? Is something wicked hiding in the woods? Could a silver scarf be the key to the dog's disappearance? And is Hannah’s new friend – from the local lolly shop – really as sweet as he looks? Hannah and Patti will need to keep their fur-trimmed boots fastened if they’re going to survive this chilling bird-watching holiday. Well, that’s if they can survive the woods (and each other) first ...

'In every Plum & Woo instalment, Hannah and Patti will investigate a surprising and sinister fashion mystery while also navigating their newly blending family. Brimming with fun, danger and highly relatable tween angst, this series is perfect for readers aged 9+!' (Publication summary)

'When friends Hannah Plum and Patti Woo find a beautiful fan at an antiques fair, they also find a whole of trouble. The fan is from a nearby manor, where strange things keep happening. And they’re all related to four paintings on the fan. The statues in the hedge maze have lost their heads. The pond’s turned black overnight. All the flowers in the morning garden have withered. The fan’s owner is convinced it’s cursed – and when Hannah and Patti investigate, things get even more sinister. 

'Who’s that cloaked lady in the garden? What does the last painting on the fan symbolise? And why does everyone keep talking about a ghost? Is the fan just an accessory … or could it be an accessory to murder?'  (Publication summary)
