Join Silver, the Cruise Ship Kid, as she solves a puzzling crime in the hilarious and bestselling detective adventure series from author and West-End actress, Emma Swan.

Hi, I'm Silver (yes, really). Here are 4 things you should know about me:
1. I live on a cruise ship...
2. And my best friend Mo has come on this trip too
3. I have to make sure he has the BEST CRUISE EVER so he'll come back again soon
4. And I need your help investigating a very puzzling case!

Absolute disaster: a really important piece of artwork has been STOLEN from the ship's gallery and REPLACED WITH A FAKE. Along with the Gang (my brilliant pals who are all over 80) and Detective-in-Training Mo, we've been trying to work out where the real artwork is, but we can't find it anywhere.

So, do you want to be definitely-a-detective too and help me find the artwork stolen at sea?

THIS BOOK IS:
- 50% crime-solving + 50% getting arty = 100% FUN!
- Written in diary form
- Inspired by the author's childhood growing up on an actual cruise ship!
- Filled with doodles, activities and lots of space to scribble!
- Pamela Butchart meets Tom Gates, set at sea
