'Funny' and 'exciting' are words used by readers of Snail Trail. 'There's nothing snail's pace about this story,' one TV broadcaster carries on. 'There are many swift twists and turns executed by our pint-sized misses Marple as they solve a highly unusual village mystery. Looming large all the while are the exotic Land Snails who inspired the tale ...'
Who has delivered two baby giant African land snails to each house in the village of Newton, and why? Is it an April Fool's joke like the grown-ups think? Nine-year old bet friends and detectives-in-the-making, Amy and Charlie, decide to solve the mystery. Number one suspect, Mr. Brown is often heard driving his car up to the top of the village at night. He never shaves, always acts weird. Then snail posters appear all over the village. A secret spilled in the playground leads the girls into a snail hunt high up on Zig Zag common. Then a schoolboy goes missing ... the girls' mums start to behave suspiciously. As the girls make an amazing discovery, a discovery that will change their, and the villagers lives forever, the truth dawns. But just who comes out of the mystery with egg on their face?
This story which came out of a real-life incident appeals to children and grown-ups alike and highly suitable for shared reading.
