‘The Super Sunny Murder Club’ Edited by Serena Patel and Robin Stevens and Illustrated by Harry Woodgate
‘The Super Sunny Murder Club’ is a wonderful collection of short stories written by outstanding authors including Robin Stevens, Abiola Bello, Maisie Chan, Benjamin Dean, Roopa Farooki, Sharna Jackson, Patrice Lawrence, Elle McNicoll, E.L Norry, Serena Patel, Annabelle Sami, Dominique Valente and Nizrana Farook. We can’t forget the perfect illustrations throughout the book and the cover by Harry Woodgate.
This book is a great book for people who love murder mysteries and also a little bit of fun! My favourite short stories in this collection were from Elle McNicoll and Maisie Chan. In Elle McNicoll’s short story, called ‘Say i Dunnit’, when her cousin nearly gets killed at her own wedding by a falling chandelier, Briar takes it upon herself to figure out who is responsible. In Maisie Chan’s ‘The Treetop Trials’ two siblings go on holiday to a caravan park and when someone dies in the new treetop trials, they realise they have a mystery to solve.
I loved reading this book as every time I read a new chapter, I got a whole new and exciting story to captivate me.
I would definitely recommend this book as a Christmas gift this year for a fond reader who wants to try a different approach to reading and for reluctant readers who like short exciting stories.
