Description - The Looming Lamplight: The Cryptic Casebook of Coco Carlomagno (and Alberta) Bk 2 by Ursula Dubosarsky
Ursula Dubosarsky is the Australian Children's Laureate for 2020 - 2021
Coco Carlomagno, the well-respected (if somewhat easily startled) Chief of Police, has run into an unusually difficult problem. From his office high in the Obelisco, Buenos Aires' tallest building, he can see a light turn off and on. Could it be a message? How can he possibly decode it? In desperation he once again calls on his clever cousin Alberta to help him solve the puzzle of the looming lamplight.
Reviews for the series include:
'a silly, zany romp aided and abetted by Terry Denton's typically playful illustrations' - Sydney's Child
'an excellent transitional book for readers starting to make their way into the unfamiliar and perhaps slightly daunting world of chapter books Dubosarsky has a truly playful way with words, which is spot on for this age group. The puzzles by Terry Denton are a lot of fun' - Bookseller + Publisher
'a touch of the Geronimo Stiltons' - Adelaide Advertiser
Perfect for:
- Reluctant readers with illustrations on every page
- Kids who love the Treehouse or CatKid books
- Young readers who love puzzle books
- Includes a glossary of Spanish words and clues to help solve the puzzles
