'Wilma Tenderfoot and the Case of the Frozen Hearts' By Emma Kennedy
This is a mystery book and there are strange things happening on Cooper Island: missing stones, murders and a little girl who just wants to be a detective and follow her dreams. Detective P. Goodman could make Wilma's dreams come true by making her his apprentice or will he just tell her to leave him alone? Wilma still just doesn't give up! She follows him everywhere and actually helps him solve the case and all with an order book and a magnifying glass, but they are very special in the hands of one special little girl!
The main characters are Wilma Tenderfoot, Theodore. P. Goodman and Inspector Lemone. Wilma is a very adventurous girl, she is an orphan and her hero is Detective Theodore. P. Goodman. He lives with his housekeeper Mrs Speckle. He is Cooper Island's finest detective and has solved lots of cases. Inspector Lemone has a very large crush on Mrs Speckle, but he doesn't show it. He loves corn crumble biscuits and is quite fat, but he doesn't mind he is very kind and caring and he cares a lot for Wilma.
My favourite part was when Wilma and Pickle sneak and hide in potato sacks so she could get to the lowside of Cooper Island to catch the evil villain Barbu'D'Anvers.
I would definitely recommend this book to a friend because it is very funny, mysterious and exciting. I think someone who likes mysteries would like this book.
