Pre Reading Post Term 4

Book covering: The first thing I spotted was the person that looked like a detective & the police car.

Title: The name Madam spry & the blue diamond well definitely make people need to buy this book really bad.

Blurb: The blurb makes me really really want to read because it is so mysterious & exciting adventure ahead to see.
