At Manor Academy, the great detectives of tomorrow hone their sleuth skills. Jeremy Swift is one of the best in his class, but when his parents are accused of a devious crime, can he put his detecting gloves on and solve the mystery? This is a boarding-school sleuthing story which will keep readers guessing, and introduce them to the world of detective fiction.

This book is from Readerful's Independent Library. It is for children aged 10 to 11 to read without support.

Readerful is a reading library specially designed to motivate children to read more. The series offers contemporary, inclusive books for children from 4 to 11 years, including:

Books for Sharing: picture books to be read aloud by an adult for inspiring reading sessions

Independent Library: fiction, graphic texts, character mini-series and non-fiction for children to read independently

Rise: fully decodable books for older struggling readers to read independently.

How Readerful works:
- Read aloud the Books for Sharing for magical reading sessions that motivate children to read more.
- Then encourage children to choose a book to read by themselves, from Readerful's Independent Library or from Rise. You'll find links between the books' topics, vocabulary, characters and authors - all designed to keep children reading, boost their vocabulary and develop their knowledge of the world around them.
