I enjoyed the mystery as Kate was trying to solve the case of the missing items. I liked how there were ‘stops’ in the book; for example, when Kate was looking in her Catherine Rodriguez notebook. I really liked the feel of the book and toned illustrations throughout. Young readers that enjoy adventure/ mystery/ animal books should enjoy this story.

Because it was a bit scary and a bit it was nice to because it was a litte bit funny to

Loved the art style

There were some pretty funny parts in this book, I can’t wait to read the others !

This book was good. I enjoyed the mysteries and the good illustrations. The mouse Rupert was cute and clever.

I thought that this book is a good way to help if you ever fall into a crime scene. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes detective novels.

A quick read that was almost over before it began. Made us think of the picture book ‘Tiger in a Tutu’ towards the end

A beautifully illustrated book filled of mystery and fun.

It’s ok. I do recommend the book.

Really interesting

Brriliant. All about detectives solving mystries

Kate on the Case is the first book in this delightful, new illustrated adventure series for younger readers.

Young aspiring investigate reporter Kate is boarding a train to visit her scientist mother in the Arctic alongside her Dad and best friend, Rupert who just happens to be a mouse.

Kate is not long aboard the train when passenger’s possessions begin to disappear … gymnastic trophies, ginger nut biscuits and some ancient scrolls. Who could be stealing such a seemingly unrelated range of objects? Luckily, Kate has brought her idol’s Special Correspondent Manual with her, and is determined to take on the case and solve the mystery …

She soon finds a credible culprit, Madame Maude, but will Kate be able to confirm her initial suspicions, or will a twist in the tale lead her in a rather different direction?

This is a charmingly captured mystery with plenty of action and lots of giggles. It has a brilliant cast of both human and animal characters. I especially enjoyed Master Mimkins, Madame Maude’s pedigree cat who is the source, although unwittingly, of plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. I also really liked conductor-in-training Simon who has a heart of gold but is prone to accidents.

Kate is an incredibly likeable young girl who is quick-witted, determined and not at all averse to a little ‘sneakery’ to aid her investigation. Her friendship with Rupert is just gorgeous: they make a brilliant team.

This story has wonderful messages about not judging others because of preconceived opinions, and the importance of finding out all the facts rather than jumping to conclusions.

I absolutely loved that this story included extracts from Kate’s Special Correspondent Manual written by her idol, Catherine Rodriguez. Just as I did, I can imagine readers poring over these detailed entries. Adding Kate’s notes to these is genius! The full- and partial-page illustrations are full of energy and humour complementing the story perfectly, and will be incredibly appealing to young readers as will the detailed character and train illustrations at the start of the book.

This is the perfect adventure for younger readers served up with plenty of action, humour and a real sense of mystery with a deliciously unexpected twist that is sure to bring gasps of delight.

Thank you to Piccadilly Press for a proof in exchange for my honest opinion.

I love Mystery books

I liked this book because it’s about investigations and I am interested in this.

I adored Kate on the Case written and stunningly, hilariously illustrated by @hannahpeckillustration and published by @piccadilly.press ❤️ I’ve come across Hannah’s (‘Pecorino’s’ 😉) illustrations before in the #violetveilmysteries but incredibly, this is her debut as a writer. It’s clever and fun and bonkers and hilarious and kids will absolutely love it. It will be coming in to school with me next week and I’ll definitely be getting #2 when it’s out 👏❤️ #kidsbookshelf #kidsbooks #kidsbookstagram #kidsbookreviews #teacherswhoread
