9-year-old Poppy and her 13-year-old sister Lily are back, by popular demand, in this second offering by Suffolk-based author Angela Taylor.
After demonstrating some flair for drama at school, their teacher uses a personal connection to get them both a part in a movie; being filmed on location that summer, at the nearby Southwold fairground.
Naturally, the girls jump at the chance and upon arrival on set, are instantly enthralled by the spectacle of it all. As if a fairground in itself wasn't exciting enough for children, they find themselves surrounded by lights, cameras, and all kinds of action. The leading lady even has a glittering necklace, featuring a diamond the size of an egg!
However, it wouldn't be "The Southwold Adventure" if something didn't go wrong. And just when their parents were banking on a lazy summer, the film-set is thrown into disarray, when the leading lady's necklace mysteriously disappears. The police are called in and duly begin their investigations, but there are, of course, some mysteries that only a couple of free-spirited young girls can solve…
