SJF Book Recommendation (19-03-21)

21st Mar 2021

This week Miss Heath’s recommendation for our older children is the very exciting ‘High Rise Mystery’ by Sharna Jackson.

This thrilling, gripping and action-packed story is one that you are not going to want to put down! It follows the story of two sisters investigating a murder in the building where they live.

As you read it you will discover information and character secrets that will lead you to the criminal, but you are continuously second-guessing yourself as to who it is! You will constantly be wanting to read on as each cliff-hanger builds more and more suspense until you just can't stop!

I highly recommend this book because it really gets you thinking, with all the twists and turns throughout!

Sharna Jackson is a British writer of children's fiction and author of a mystery series, featuring Nik and Norva, who solve crimes on their South London housing estate.  

Jackson is also a curator of the arts, and has worked with with the Tate, The Victoria and Albert Museum and Site Gallery in Sheffield (until 2020), engaging children in developing digital initiatives in the arts.
