Montgomery Bonbon: Death at the Lighthouse

This engaging chapter book introduces readers to Bonnie Montgomery, a young girl with a secret alter-ego, the renowned detective Montgomery Bonbon. On a holiday with her Grampa Banks to the quirky Odde Island, Bonnie's detective instincts are immediately piqued by a mysterious death at Leerie Lighthouse. As the plot thickens with a second, seemingly connected death, Bonbon must use all her wits to unravel the highly suspicious circumstances. Perfect for children aged 7-11, this book offers a blend of humor, adventure, and classic whodunit elements, encouraging critical thinking and problem-solving skills in a fun, accessible way.

The most troublesome thing about being a detective is that it is almost impossible to go on holiday. When Bonnie Montgomery finally gets a break from cracking cases as her alter-ego, Montgomery Bonbon, something terribly fishy happens the moment she and Grampa Banks arrive on Odde Island for half-term and it's not just the smell of the harbour. There's been a mysterious death at Leerie Lighthouse, and what everyone assumed was an accident is setting Bonbon's moustache all a-quiver: a sure sign that something is Highly Suspicious. When a second death takes place on the other side of the island, Bonnie is sure the two are connected. But can she solve this case alone, or will she need double the detectives to solve double the murder?
