Produktbeschreibung

A fast-paced adventure for readers aged nine to twelve.

She hates being a thief, but if she wants to be free, she must do one final job: steal Viking treasure. Can she do it?

Once again, Cairo is in the clutches of Gran, the cruel woman who taught her to pickpocket when she was a young girl and forced her into a life of crime. Living with Gran is miserable and Cairo is losing hope that she will be reunited with Astrid, the woman who wants to give her a home.

Desperate to escape, Cairo is shocked when Gran offers her a way out. Cairo can return to Astrid, but only if she steals the Star Spear, a priceless Viking treasure. To succeed, she has to befriend a girl-and then betray her. Cairo doesn't know if she can, especially once she gets to know her and wants to be her friend.

When Cairo realises Gran is keeping secrets about the Star Spear, she becomes determined to discover why it's so important to her. There's not much time as other dangerous people also want the treasure.

With the clock counting down, Cairo has to make an impossible choice. If she obeys Gran she'll have to double-cross her new friend, but if she does what's right, she'll be trapped with Gran and never go home to Astrid.

The Star Spear is the third book in the action-packed Stolen Treasures series. It's perfect for fans of Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys and The Mysterious Benedict Society. Read it for a tale of friendship, intrigue and bravery.

Autorenporträt

Before Susie Dinneen became a writer, she was a reader, and before that she was a dreamer. Now she's all of those things. She catches stories that flit and float through the air, which is what she's really doing when it looks like she's daydreaming (although sometimes she's just daydreaming).

Her first published book is Nombulelo and the Moth, a picture book for 4 to 8 year olds. It's about love and being brave, even when there are leopards in the forest.

She's currently working on the Stolen Treasures series of adventures for 9 to twelve year olds. The prequel short story, The Pickpocket and the Thief, is available for free on her website. The first Stolen Treasures novel is The Trunk of Stars.

She lives in Johannesburg, South Africa, with her husband, who's a musician, and their cat, who pushes books off tables. One day she'll have a library with a very comfy chair in it. She works as a creative director in a digital agency to fund her book habit.
