Harriet's Hotel: Can she serve a gourmet feast while solving a mystery, saving the girl and fixing a broken heart?

What would you do if your parents went AWOL overseas and the coolest girl in your new school despised you? Harriet Honeyman used to jet round the world with her mum and dad eating out in fancy restaurants and staying in posh hotels. Now they've bought a grand old country house and left her alone with just her cat and the housekeeper for company. Well at least the cat likes her. Mrs B not so much. She thinks Harriet is a spoiled madam and she's making Harriet's life hell. Harriet tries everything to make her parents come back home. Then the mysterious Isabelle Moon, arrives and Harriet befriends Sophie, a troubled girl with a dark secret. Suddenly it's not just about Harriet anymore: there's a mystery to solve, a romance to rekindle and a missing mother to rescue. The PUBLISHER says: The heroine in this book doesn't wear a cape, carry any weapons or come armed with super powers. She just has heart, smarts and tenacity. You won't find a more resourceful or inspiring character in another book you read this year. REVIEWS OF PRINT BOOK say: "My daughter loved this story.
