About this deal

The winners of The Farshore Reading for Pleasure Teacher Awards 2023, highlighting the work schools are doing to encourage a love of reading, have. Suspicious that no police arrive to investigate, Wilder becomes intent on exposing the injustices within the high-rise. From page 1 this book had the potential to be incredible, and god DAMN it lived up to that promise and more. Da die Autorin alles sehr bildhaft und stimmungsvoll beschreibt, ist es mir mühelos geglückt, mich in der Welt der beiden Schwestern zurechtzufinden. I’ve been meaning to read this for ages and having read a mystery book to my year 5s last term, thought now would be a good time.

I was hooked from the first page - the style , pace of narrative , humour and intelligence - a true antidote to past mystery crime tales for young people . Nik è sveglia, intelligente e un' acuta osservatrice e amante delle liste, il che da alla scrittura un impronta molto personale e piacevole. It is up to them to find out who is the murderer and why because they know the wrong person has been accused. The central characters, sisters with very different personalities but a strong bond, seem real and the way they interact produces lots of comedy moments. The fact Nik was supposed to be an 11 year old baffles me when her inner thoughts include words like "palpable" and rambling random facts - is Nik supposed to be a genius because that wasn't established?

A television newsreader named Cosgrove, the only upper-floor resident who still leaves for work, is killed by a gang of lower-floor residents. Within their urban community , the tower block - The Tri - where they live, the shocked and suspicious sisters begin to identity possible suspects within their close community. Mark also stated that the dystopia portrayed reflected current concerns regarding gentrification and division. The two girls are certainly at the centre of the plot, but adults are not forgotten, taking on realistic roles without detracting from the siblings. Here are some of our favourite stories that happen to have a single dad, including some adoptive dads, in the background.

Solltet ihr diese Leseleidenschaft mit mir teilen, kann ich euch „Highrise Mystery“ sehr ans Herz legen!In a review for Architects Journal, Laura Mark was impressed by the "fantastic" visuals but noted that it lacked plot. Principal photography began in July 2014 in Belfast, [5] primarily in the seaside resort town of Bangor, County Down. Author Sharna Jackson is also Artistic Director of The Site Gallery, an international contemporary art space in Sheffield, UK. Vorne im Buch befindet sich zudem noch eine geniale Karte, die das „The Tri“ zeigt, sodass man sich alles noch besser vorstellen kann.

High Rise Mystery by Sharna Jackson is the first black UK detective duo for readers ages 9–12 in the UK.One of the building’s most favourite residents, Hugh Knightley-Webb, a dealer of antiques, has been found dead, and Nik and Norva are on the case. Humiliated, Laing is thrown out of the party and becomes trapped in an elevator during a power outage. Elisabeth Moss later remarked on Wheatley and the shoot: "I don't know anyone who makes movies like he does. This was a fun middle grade mystery, it was a bit slow in pace and I did struggle a bit to get invested.

As the two girls sift through red herrings and reveal a series of tower block secrets, short snappy sentences and sparkling dialogue will keep readers turning the pages.Ich hatte eindeutig mal wieder den richtigen Riecher gehabt – mir hat das Buch ein tolles Leseerlebnis beschert. Wir erfahren alles aus der Sicht von Nik in der Ich-Perspektive und wie sie uns alles erzählt, so schön frech, authentisch und humorvoll, hat mir echt gut gefallen. As before, it’s great to see an inner-city crime mystery for kids, as well as two black girl sleuths, and Jackson gives us a twisty, witty novel full of red herrings, sass and adventure.
