Kate | 3 comments All I can remember about this bok is that it was set in Paris, and it was about a gang of children that turned sleuth - I'm sure they witnessed a robbery or were told about a robbery and took it upon themselves to investigate/solve.
The book was read to me at school as a child and I reckon it was early 70s.
I have tried periodically to find the book along with 2 others which I have been successful in tracking down - I'd be grateful for any help you can offer
