Book 3 in the Cass and the Bubble Street Gang series! Cass, Lex and Nicholas investigate crimes, solve mysteries and have brilliant adventures. They've even got their own secret clubhouse. Cass is not impressed with the new Residents' Association programme — suddenly everyone's in Neighbourhood Watch and thinks they're a genius detective. And that's Cass's job!! Worse still, there are so many new rules that the kids can't even play on the street anymore. No one stops Cass and the gang from playing games - something will HAVE to be done about the Residents' Association... But there's also a mystery afoot for the Bubble Street Gang: while helping with a car boot sale, Cass finds a very old diary. The name inside the cover has worn away, but it must belong to somebody in Berbel Street. The diary talks about picking on the drama kids on the bus, and finally about a horrible prank played on them during their end-of-year show. Who does this diary belong to? Can the Bubble Street Gang unmask the wicked writer?

Reviews-
  • Children's Books Ireland Cass, Lex and Nicholas are crime-fighting, mystery-solving detectives, and are also known as the Bubble Street gang. Together they are working on a new mission: Operation Catch the Wicked Writer. When the team find an old diary full of wicked deeds, they aim to find out who the diary belongs to, all while trying to overturn the harsh new rules of the Resident's Association. Cass is a spunky, natural born leader. She is innovative and cheeky and is determined to be the best at solving mysteries. Lex is a sweet, endearing girl with incredible talent in all things sporty. Nicholas is a sensible, sincere boy with an inspiring passion for the arts. Together these three characters create a balanced dynamic. Their personalities complement each other, solidifying the strongest of friendships. This trio is an excellent example of kind friendships that any child would be glad to have. The plot of the mysterious diary is engaging throughout. With plenty of fun side stories, it is as if we are playing the games right alongside the gang. Cass is hilariously honest, with plenty of real laugh-out-loud moments when she says what we are all thinking. An easy and enjoyable read, and a fantastic plot twist to end on, Diary Detectives leaves you wanting more adventures with the Bubble Street Gang
