Publisher's Synopsis
The Case of the Smugglers Curse is the first in a brand-new series of adventure stories for kids that brings together the best traditions of Enid Blyton, Jacqueline Wilson and David Walliams. Lucy, Max, Charlie and Joe arent looking for new friends they have too many of their own problems to worry about. But when the four of them, and Charlies faithful dog, Sherlock, spot a phantom figure on Southwold beach one winters night, they are thrown together to unravel a mystery that none of them expected. Just who is the ghostly spectre that walks the sands of Southwold with a lantern in his hand? What is the connection to the ancient curse that hangs over the town? And is the respectable Quentin De Havilland everything he pretends to be? If the five friends can learn to work together, they might just solve the mystery if only they can stop arguing with each other first.
