The Brotherhood of Brimstone
Kate Wiseman (2019)
Trouble is brewing at Blaggards School for Tomorrow's Tyrants.
Sir Byron's Brain, a priceless legendary diamond, has gone missing. If it leaves the school grounds, Blaggards will be destroyed forever and the head teacher obliterated!
Could the evil Brotherhood of Brimstone - an ancient secret society - have anything to do with it? Best friends Milly and Charlie embark on an adventure to find out. They discover a web of evil plots involving Gruffles, Charlie's stinky dog, and Wolfie, the robot dog turned invisible superhero.
On top of this, Blaggards is expecting a school inspection from the mysterious Dr X - Chief Inspector of Criminal Schools. He could turn up at any time, and no one knows what he looks like.
Time is running out for Milly and Charlie. Will Dr X appear? And can our heroes defeat the evil Brotherhood, rescue their canone companions and save the day?
The rollicking second instalment in Kate Wiseman's Gangster School series.
Crime might not pay, but ingenuity and quick-wit certainly do in this adventure mystery which will have any child wishing their own classes were a little more gangster.

Gangster School was a hard act to follow, but The Brotherhood of Brimstone is an equally enjoyable read, full of heart and full of laughs!
