The Mona Lisa Mystery by Laurence Hutchins, Pat Hutchins

4.0

With a more complex plot than [b:Follow That Bus|4243509|Follow That Bus|Pat Hutchins|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1344949903s/4243509.jpg|630907], Hutchins' story of Class 3's trip to Paris and their sleuthing with regards to finding the missing, Mona Lisa. Plenty of humour here for both the child and adult reader. Interesting to note that the children in the book all come from the class in which one of Pat's sons was in (Morgan). She wrote them because he'd decided it was about time he was in one of his mum's stories - what better reason for her to write the story! Jessica and her long, exaggerated stories is a gem of a creation.
