About this Event
Join Claire Hatcher-Smith, author of The Mizzy Mysteries, to create your own detective in a fun workshop where attendees will have the chance bring their character to life and work out what sort of detective they might be with an interactive quiz.
Twelve-year-old Mizzy dreams of being a detective and she won't let anything stand in her way ― not her reputation for tall tales, or her embarrassing fear of escalators, and definitely not her Down syndrome. Dumped for the summer with cousins who've outgrown her, Mizzy feels even more sidelined than usual. But when she discovers Great Aunt Jane's diaries in a locked wardrobe in their spare room, and realises her aunt didn't die in her sleep but under suspicious circumstances, everything changes. What's more … someone in the family appears to have been involved. Under the guise of a family-tree project for school, and armed with a brand new set of Pipsqueak markers, Mizzy grabs the chance to prove herself to her cousins ― and the world.
Please arrive 15 minutes before the start of the workshop. The session will last approximately one hour and will take place on the first floor of the library.
Suitable for children aged 8 - 12 years old. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Purchase tickets for both adults and children attending. By booking a ticket you are guaranteed a place, but there will also be drop-in spaces available on the day so if tickets sell out please still come along.
This is a FREE event.
Claire will be signing books after the workshop. The Book Nook will be selling Claire's books on the ground floor of the library. This session is part of the Family Day at Crawley Library.
