Letty and the Mystery of the Golden Thread

We begin in LONDON, 1774. Twelve-year-old Lettice Breech is excited to visit Europe with her Pa, who is eternally fascinated by ancient objects. They’re going to admire breathtaking French art, astounding Roman ruins, and spectacular Greek carvings. But their plans are dashed when a famous statue is exposed as a forgery, and Pa is thrown in gaol for the crime.

Pa has taught Letty how to tell real antiquities from fake, but she needs the other pieces of the statue to prove it. So she escapes to France with only a notebook of clues in her pocket, and her pet magpie for company. Can she unravel the mystery of the statue, and prove Pa’s innocence before it’s too late
