High-Rise Mystery (The High-rise Mysteries): 1 (A High-Rise Mystery)

Product Information

This is definitely one that should be very high on the list; contemporary, lively and reflecting an urban landscape that will be familiar to a great many. As much as Nik and Norva want to be seasoned, serious detectives, they are also normal young girls dealing with embarrassing crushes and embarrassing (possibly dating) dads. High Rise Mystery is a new series and I’m delighted to see it hitting the shelves in the past few weeks.

Author Guy Bass introduces SCRAP, about one robot who tried to protect the humans on his planet against an army of robots. Up and coming popstar Trojkat – Katarzyna Clarke to everyone that lives in the Tri, a triple tower block in South London – is recording her latest video at the tower block she grew up in.He surmises to Laing that the failure of the high-rise may actually be a kind of success, a "crucible for change" that could lead residents to escape to a new life. From page 1 this book had the potential to be incredible, and god DAMN it lived up to that promise and more. Humiliated, Laing is thrown out of the party and becomes trapped in an elevator during a power outage.

Also, did they not think of that it may be an even bigger implication if someone found it and figured out that it was their stuff?

The fact Nik was supposed to be an 11 year old baffles me when her inner thoughts include words like "palpable" and rambling random facts - is Nik supposed to be a genius because that wasn't established? Allerdings könnte ich mir gut vorstellen, dass die Erzählweise nicht jedermanns Sache sein wird, da sie doch eine recht spezielle ist. It is up to them to find out who is the murderer and why because they know the wrong person has been accused. In 2017 he won the UK's School Librarian of the Year award and in 2022 he was named the UK Literacy Association's Reading For Pleasure Teacher Champion.

It tells students from diverse backgrounds in a very direct way that they are not good enough to be the hero or to come out the winner in the stories that help develop their teenage brains. Die Sätze sind oft sehr kurz und knackig gehalten und es wird ziemlich viel Jugendsprache verwendet. Munrow's brain scans come back clean, but a vengeful Laing leads him to believe he has a brain tumor.I protagonisti sono simpatici, anche se forse run po' troppo "giovani", e l'ambientazone originale, il caso pieno divertente e pieno di piccoli colpi di scena.

Here are some of our favourite stories that happen to have a single dad, including some adoptive dads, in the background. This book was just two kids walking around their estate asking any and every question hoping someone gives them something. I wanted to see if mystery’s codes and conventions could be transposed to today in a new context, to a working-class setting, led by two contemporary clever and funny Black girls. On Metacritic the film has a score of 65 out of 100 based on reviews from 36 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Empfohlen wird „Highrise Mystery“ für Mädchen und Jungen ab 12 Jahren und dieser Empfehlung schließe ich mich an.

Die Polizei aber ist der Meinung, dass ihr Vater, der der Hausmeister des „The Tri“ ist, Hugo umgebracht hat und verhaftet ihn. I did however really enjoy the dynamic of thr sisters relationship and the community that surrounded them on The Tri.
