Read about another entry on the list.Cat Among the Pigeons by Agatha Christie
This is Agatha Christie's boarding school mystery, and it's a real treat. As well as tennis, iced buns and Latin, it packs in several murders, a jewel theft and an international spying ring (and a lot of other subplot that would take too long to explain). Christie doesn't often write about children (and when she does they usually read like very short adults), but the heroine of this book is charming, resourceful and exhaustingly gung-ho. Nothing daunted, she gallops about trying to solve the mystery before the adults do – with, to be fair, only limited success. But at least she tries.
