![]() ![]() A beautifully written novel with slightly disappointing narration but on the whole a brilliant, engaging book for children age 10-13. And nothing gets bigger than saving the City of London from some strange. Agatha Oddlow has been a detective for as long as she can remember - shes just been waiting for her first big case. Meet 13-year-old Agatha Oddly - a bold, determined heroine and the star of a stylish new detective series. It is refreshing to have a school girl hero who isn’t glamorous or or indeed so unpopular it’s uncomfortable to read/listen to, as the main protagonist has a few close friends and develops a few new ones in the course of the storyline. Agatha Oddly Series Book 1: The Secret Key. The major disappointment of this audio book is the narration, when she is doing the voices of specific characters, especially “mr Maxwell” it is good but when it is just simple story telling narration she sound bored and lame. Despite this I really enjoyed this literature as is was exiting and griping with lovely language that captures the imagination of the reader beautifully. ![]() Overall I enjoyed this novel but the title and front cover are quite misleading as the look good for an quite advanced 7-10 year old but I would recommend this book for ages 10-13 as it contains some disturbing themes and is quite a hard storyline to follow. ![]()
