Mariella Mystery: The Ghostly Guinea Pig: Book 1
Kate Pankhurst
The debut novel from winner of the MacMillan Prize for Picture Book Illustration Kate Pankhurst. The perfect book for 7-9 yr olds who love funny stories with quirky illustrations like DIARY OF A WIMPY KID, the DORK DIARIES and CLARICE BEAN.
Mariella Mystery (That’s me!) – totally amazing girl detective, aged 9 and a bit. Able to solve the most mysterious mysteries and perplexing problems, even before breakfast.
When their teacher Miss Crumble spots the ghost of her pet guinea pig, Mr Darcy, in her back garden, she doesn’t know what to think. But Mariella knows it’s up to her and her fellow Mystery Girls to get to the bottom of The Case of the Ghostly Guinea Pig.
Reviews
I liked this book although they can be a little boring. I find it a bit predictable but sometimes things can take a swerve. I like Mariella the best but I find her little brother a bit annoying.

I really enjoyed reading Mariella Mystery and finding out about the Ghostly Guinea Pigs. I highly recommend this book for anybody who enjoys Mystery books and Ghostly things! This book is a mystery book and a very funny story. No mystery too mysterious, no problem too perplexing. Is there really a ghostly guinea pig on the loose?

This book is from my favorite series and I do recommend this for those fussy readers like me! I'm so happy that there is this book! I really enjoy these series and wish there were a huge pile of these books still left for me to read! I give a huge thank you to the author and all authors for spending time to actually write a story as short as a word because you never know if we never have a TV in front of our eyes.

I think you should read this book because it is really good and funny, also if you're looking for something easy and quick this is brilliant. I have read all of Mariella Mystery series. This is probably too easy for me but this was the only one I haven't read out of the series, (even though it's the first).

this is quite a good book but I wouldn't say it as my favourite book. I'd recommend this book for ages 7-10.
