Miss Marple meets Mr Men and Little Miss in this new story, written and illustrated by Adam Hargreaves. Loosely inspired by A Murder is Announced, but with a light and humorous twist for younger fans, this is a mystery that only someone with a sharp mind can solve!
Have you met Little Miss Marple – a new Little Miss who may feel more than a little familiar, particularly to Agatha Christie fans?!
Little Miss Marple is intrigued when a surprise is announced in the paper. But the surprise at Little Paddocks turns out to be the first of many and Little Miss Surprise and her friends have no idea who is behind them. Can the ever-observant Little Miss Marple solve the mystery and catch the culprit?
This is the third Little Miss Marple mystery in a mischievous new partnership, publishing alongside Mr Poirot: The Tale of Walter Ackroyd. The first four titles are also available: Little Miss Marple: Muddle at the Vicarage, Mr Poirot: Mischief on the Nile, Little Miss Marple: Bump in the Library and Mr Poirot: Mystery on the Opulent Express.
'The colourful characters have been delighting children since Mr Tickle first appeared on bookshelves in 1971.'
The Independent
'The timeless Mr Men books capture modern stereotypes perfectly.'
