How exciting 🤩
We're thrilled to announce the acquisition of #TheMulberryHallMurders, a brand new murder mystery series from #LucyStrange, illustrated by #HannahPeck. The first book MURDER ON A MIDSUMMER NIGHT will publish in July 2026. Can you work out the culprit before they strike again?

If ever you needed a reason to buy more children's books (like we need *another* excuse!) then this should definitely be it 💙
