Saxby Smart Private Detective - The Curse Of The Ancient Mask And Other Case Files by Simon Cheshire
This book is about a young detective called Saxby, who has only solved minor cases, but in his first book he finds some very tough and challenging cases to solve. In his first case 'The curse of the ancient mask' a girl called Jasmine Winchester comes to Saxby for help because her dad works in an electronic company and is accused of selling secrets to a rival company. It is up to Saxby to save his friend's father's reputation. The second case is the case of the 'Mark of the purple homework' where a mischief maker destroys people's essay's and homework. So, with the help of his mate Muddy, Saxby has to save people's homework and make this mischief come to an end. In the third and final case of the book his friend from a class below comes to him with a case of a missing antique clasp which her sour tempered mum's aunt, Mrs Eileen Pither, has accused her of stealing. Saxby has to find the ancient clasp and prove his friend innocent. Will Saxby be able to solve these cases? This book is like the new cooler version of Sherlock Holmes (without the murder of course). If you want to get some proper detective stories please read the Saxby smart private detective series. This book doesn't tell you about the evidence and the method of how the case was solved, but in the middle of the book Saxby asks you questions about the different things you read throughout the case - so be attentive. With the help of his two friends George and Izzy the book becomes very thrilling as Saxby goes through all the evidence and solves the cases.
