The Deadly Secret of Dorothy W. by Jon Blake
When Jasmin wins a place at the Dorothy Wordsearch School for Gifted Young Writers, things look fishy. How come Miss Birdshot, the wizened old housekeeper, is so incredibly strong? Why do Jasmin's fellow pupils keep disappearing? And who exactly is the mysterious Mr Collins? Soon Jasmin finds herself literally writing for her life!
'The pace does not flag.. deals with writing stories and children's authors in a slyly humorous way. This gives the book an original slant.' -- Narinder Dhami, Writing Magazine 20030420 'It's original and witty, full of amusing characterisation - a funny adventure story which credits its readers with intelligence.' -- BfK 20030501
