Pinky is a wonderful creation - authentic and lovable. It's exciting (I love all the cliffhangers) and funny and sometimes truly moving." Sophie McKenzie, author of Girl, Missing Scalpings, six shooters, saloons and stage coaches. Clear your calendar because youll want to read this in a single sitting! Robert Muchamore, author of the Cherub series "What we have here is a rip-roaring tale of the Wild West, with tons of credible local colour, a bunch of villains every bit as wicked as those to be found in Ancient Rome, and a likeable lead character... Original, intriguing, and a lot of fun this book is well worth reading." THE BOOKBAG "Lawrence swaps Ancient Rome for the whip-cracking Wild West in a new historical series. The Western Mysteries is set in an 1860s mining camp, which sees 12-year-old P K Pinkerton determined to outwit the outlaws and become a detective. The Roman Mysteries have an outstanding track record." THE BOOKSELLER Author descriptionCaroline Lawrence is American.
