Recommended by Dubray Books: The Trouble with Goats and Sheep

The Trouble with Goats and Sheep by Joanna Cannon

England,1976.

Mrs Creasy is missing and The Avenue is alive with whispers. As the summer shimmers endlessly on, ten-year-olds Grace and Tilly decide to take matters into their own hands.

And as the cul-de-sac starts giving up its secrets, the amateur detectives will find much more than they imagined…

Mairead Gallagher’s Recommendation

“Joanna Cannon is a fresh new voice in fiction. Her debut novel takes us on a wonderful journey with Grace and Tilly as the two intrepid 10 year olds try to solve the mystery of the disappearance of their neighbour Mrs. Creasy. Through a long hot summer they interview a number of neighbours to help find Mrs. Creasy & in doing so they find out a lot more than they bargained for. A wonder read.”
