Book 01: Lord Chancellor’s Daughter

A trick rose, mysterious kidnappings, a disused elevator shaft, a mystery to keep you turning pages until the end.

John and his twin sister win a scholarship to study at a boarding school in New Zealand. On their first day at school, they tell their classmates and class master that they love to be detectives. Little do they realize that their dream will soon turn into reality…..when a girl is kidnapped!!!

A lot of avid readers might find certain similarities of this book to Harry Potter, Famous Five and of course Sherlock Holmes…..But it’s wrong to say that the author has borrowed entire concepts

I have read my fair share of Five Findouters, Famous Five and even Noddy. But this book falls into that niche so perfectly that it’s hard to ignore it
