The Case of the Girl in Grey (The Wollstonecraft Detective Agency, Book 2)

by Jordan Stratford

Book Overview

Now in paperback, a second comic case to test the brains and bravery of the intrepid Wollstonecraft detectives--Ada Bryon Lovelace and Mary Shelley.

The Wollstonecraft Detective Agency was supposed to be a secret constabulary, but after the success of their first case, all of London knows that Lady Ada and Mary are the girls to go to if you have a problem.

Their latest case is a puzzler indeed: A dead father, a missing will, an escaped lunatic, and a hasty engagement. How does it all connect? With the help (and sometimes hindrance) of their sisters Jane and Allegra, these girls break codes, break a girl out of the hospital, and break up a very bad betrothal.

Customer Reviews

Excellent book to hook reluctant readers!

Characters cross the personality spectrum so everyone can find one to relate to... lots of cliffhangers to keep interest... interesting and funny vocabulary brings lots of giggles and learning opportunities. I use this series with my 5th graders every year and they all love it!
