Summary from O'Brien Press
There’s an intruder in the clubhouse!
The gang find the door left open, crumbs on the table and hairs on the floor. Someone has been sneaking in when nobody’s home.
But who?
Join Cass and the Bubble Street Gang as they investigate The Clubhouse Mystery.
Nayu's thoughts
This is a fun story filled with generous grannies, truth bending, and
friendship (as well as the opposite of friends) Cass and her friends
have a bucket load of imagination, sometimes a bit too much. I smiled
a lot over the building of the clubhouse, by the awesomeness of Lex's
grandmother, by how trying school life is for them and the lesson they
learn from finding some treasure. I enjoyed the safety driven
concerns from Nic which Cass tried not to hear, but they don't stop
him from having fun, his own acting hang ups do that for him.
The
trio nearly break the law in trying to find their clubhouse intruder,
but common sense prevails and they go for a less illegal plan which
had me surprised by the intruders' identity and the consequences of
them being caught. It's a feel good read full of nostalgia of my own
childhood clubhouse (a rickety shack in my garden) where I played
cards (not poker!) with my family.
Suggested read
