Castle Rock Mystery Crew (The Jase Files: Book 1) (the laugh out loud, twisty mystery story for kids by amazing actress Vicky McClure!)

Product Information

Kids, I wasn't a strong reader when i was young; even now I'm not the most confident reader but here's what I've learnt: go at your own pace, one word at a time, one day at a time, do it your way and with style.

I don’t want the pressure of picking up a book and trying to get to the end can sometimes be quite daunting.Vicky’s campaign to widen and demystify the conversation around dementia is inspiring – dementia is a disease that touches so many families, and this book depicts it with kindness and tremendous warmth,” she said. His mum used to work in a supermarket but a year ago, his grandma’s Alzheimer’s had gotten worse and when she moved in with them, Jase’s mum had to give up work to care for her. The story of The Castle Rock Mystery Crew follows 10-year-old Jase, who is spending the summer holidays at the Castle Rock caravan park with his auntie and grandma, who has dementia. We were in Mablethorpe and I just have the fondest memories of making new friends and going to the arcades and the clubhouse at night, a bottle of pop and a bag of crisps. This book should give Curran co-billing and I find it very disappointing that McClure has not done this (although I do give her credit for singling Curran out for thanks in the Author’s Note at the back).

A mystery story that's a modern-day Secret Seven for fans of Tom Fletcher's The Danger Gang and Marcus Rashford's The Breakfast Club Adventures .

Vicky McClure’s adventure mystery for readers aged 9+ (written by Kim Curran and illustrated by Alan Brown and the first in a series) is well-meaning and sensitive in incorporating people with dementia within the story. They’ve all got different family set ups and I want kids to be able to feel that they can relate to it. In part this was down to my obsession with Dr Who, which skewed my choices quite considerably, but also there quite simply wasn’t the.
