For ages 11-adult
Laura Wood is a best-selling, award winning author of young adult and children’s fiction. Her young adult novels combine historical settings with coming of age adventures, romance and witty dialogue – perfect for fans of Eva Ibbotson and Dodie Smith. Her latest novel, The Agency of Scandal, is a delightful mix of Regency scandal and girl power, as an all female detective agency takes on the case of some missing jewels, and the blackmail and gaslighting that follow.
