Mark and Shark: Detectiving and Stuff
Meet Mark (a boy) and Shark (a shark) - they're experts(ish) in detectiving and stuff. When an enormous polar asks for their help with some stuff for her ice cream business, it sounds a little bit dull - but little do they realize that they'll end up doing more detectiving than they bargained for!
With wild humour and hilarious illustrations, it's non-stop fun from beginning to end.

I have read this book as part of the Fantastic Book Award club I run in school.
This book is silly and I felt like a 10 year old reading it! It was too childish for me but I hope the children in the book club enjoy it! It is fun and full of weird and wonderful characters. It has short chapters which makes this story fast paced and will help more reluctant readers to read!
All in all an enjoyable book for any child!

Winner! Opens with Shark diving onto her best friend and shouting "Seal!" forgetting for a moment that Mark and Shark have opened a Detectiving and Stuff shopfront, and then doing the same to nearly every character. A must for Book Week costuming.
