Product description

Return to the wonderful characters of beloved, bestselling, award-winning The Goldfish Boy, one of the most talked-about debut children’s books of recent years.
Melody Bird has discovered an old abandoned house in the corner of the graveyard, and a mysterious boy hiding out there…
Hal tells her that he’s a spy-in-training, using the house as a base for his undercover surveillance of a known local criminal.
Her friends Matthew and Jake don’t believe that a teenager would be entrusted with this mission and turn the tables to spy on him, uncovering secrets and unravelling a mystery as they go.

  • The sequel to huge bestseller The Goldfish Boy

  • A clever, very moving mystery for young readers to help solve

  • “One of our most inventive writers for children” The Times

    • Our January 2021 Ages 11+ Book of the Month

    Our January Book of the Month pick for ages 11 and over has to be The Graveyard Riddle. This is the long-awaited companion novel to Lisa Thompson’s award-winning debut The Goldfish Boy. The Graveyard Riddle returns us to the wonderful characters and world we love, and has all the heart and warmth of the first book. This time told from one of our favourite character’s perspectives – clever and curious Melody Bird, who discovers an old abandoned house in the corner of the graveyard, and a mysterious boy hiding out there…

    It has the same middle-grade magic formula of humour, uncovering secrets and unravelling a page-turning mystery plot as they go. This is bound to be another beloved bestseller and favourite for years to come.
