About the Book Nik and Norva, the sharp-eyed sister detectives from THE TRI estate, are taking a well-earned break from crime-solving with a school trip to the Peak District. But trouble has a habit of finding them, and it isn't long before a fresh mystery begins to unravel among the hills and dales. True to form, the girls can't resist "a bit of investigating... a little light snooping... a sprinkle of scammery," pulling readers into a clever whodunnit that mixes humour, friendship and sharp observation. As a World Book Day title, Peak Peril is shorter and more accessible than a full novel, making it an ideal entry point for new readers and a treat for existing fans. Sharna Jackson brings her trademark diverse, contemporary voice to the story, with two Black sister-detectives at the centre of the action - representation that has made the series a standout in modern middle-grade crime fiction. Themes of curiosity, teamwork and standing up for what's right run throughout, wrapped in a page-turning mystery that's as fun to solve as it is to read. It's a great showcase of the series' acclaim. Fun, fast-paced World Book Day short story - ideal for reluctant or time-poor readers Features fan-favourite detectives Nik and Norva from the High-Rise Mystery series Great introduction to the series for new readers aged 7-9 Celebrates diversity with two Black sister protagon
