Book description
Somewhere between France and England there is an island that no one has
ever bothered to discover. On it lives Wilma Tenderfoot, a determined
ten-year old girl who dreams of one day becoming a World-Famous
Detective. So she can't help thinking it's destiny when, dispatched from
the Institute for Woeful Children to her new home as a live-in skivvy,
she discovers that the genius gentleman detective Theodore P. Goodman
lives next door. A ten-year-old girl of great determination (and her pet
beagle, Pickle) and a World-Famous Detective of great repute might not
be the most obvious crime-solving duo - but Wilma Tenderfoot is not
about to let that put either of them off! And it looks like their first
dastardly case is about to begin . . . Feisty but funny, cheeky but
charming - Wilma Tenderfoot and her unique mystery-solving methodology
is hard to resist!
Emma Kennedy trained as a solicitor, but she left the law after a
few years and has been writing and performing ever since. Emma has won
several awards for her comedic performances - you will probably know
her from such popular TV shows as MY FAMILY, THE SMOKING ROOM and
JONATHAN CREEK. She is a writer for LATE LUNCH, among other shows, and
her regular blog receives approx 4,500 hits per day. Recently, Emma
also appeared in the Oscar-nominated film NOTES ON A SCANDAL. All in
all, it's surprising she has time to write books at all - but WILMA
TENDERFOOT AND THE CASE OF THE FROZEN HEARTS is her first children's
book, and there are more cases to come! (Thank goodness.) Emma lives
in London with her pet dog.
