Introducing Ottoline

Add to My Folder

By Huw Thomas — headteacher and writer

With the investigative skills of Miss Marple and the kookiness of Amélie, Ottoline is no ordinary girl detective

Ottoline and the yellow cat

Chris Riddell’s Ottoline series (Macmillan, £8.99 HB) relays the amazing life of a kooky young girl named Ottoline and her hairy companion, Mr Munroe. The unlikely duo reside together in a luxury flat on the 24th floor of the Pepperpot Building. In their debut appearance in Ottoline and the Yellow Cat, Ottoline and Mr Munroe come face to face with a villainous and sneaky feline crook and, as a result, solve a mystery involving missing dogs.

In terms of text, Ottoline and the Yellow Cat is a relatively short novel, but it’s filled with little games, postcards, a poster, diagrams, maps and lots of fantastic illustrations that young readers of all ages and abilities will love.
