For all readers aged 8+ who have murder on their mind, we've got a nostalgic historical fiction series set in a boarding school.
Justice Jones is our super-smart super-sleuth protagonist, attending the Highbury House Boarding School for the Daughters of Gentlefolk. In each book of what is currently a four-part series, she gets to the bottom of a new mystery, whether it involves missing chamber maids, mysterious deaths of elderly First World War pirates or ghost sightings ... all while making friends and getting on with school duties!
We recommend this series to any fan of Robin Stevens, Katherine Woodfine and Enid Blyton.
