Rory Branagan (Detective): Book 1

Product Information

Liz: I think I’m still learning how to do both to be honest. For me the words and pictures go together – but I’ve been drawing more than I’ve been writing. Sophie: I like the descriptions of Cornwall- the white beaches and blue sea and that it was so calm you could almost hear the rays of the sun..I think the nice thing about books is that you can see places you – where else would you like to write about? Toby: I would like to become a detective like Rory Branagan – would you like to be one or would you rather stay an author?

The Great Diamond Heist: Book 7 (Rory Branagan (Detective))

An absolutely HUGE crime has been committed at my school . . . Nobody likes our head dinner lady, but WHO would actually try to KILL her? And WHY? It's up to me and my Accomplice, Cassidy 'the Cat' Callaghan, to solve our DEADLIEST crime yet. There are seven books in the RORY BRANAGAN (DETECTIVE) series and this is the first, in which you meet Rory and his Accomplice, Cassidy, as they investigate the poisoning of Rory’s next-door neighbour. And THAT, friends, is what Rory does, with the help of his Accomplice, Cassidy, in a BOOMTASTIC adventure involving dogs, cats, a wheelie bin chariot, a brave and daring rescue and Mrs Welkin, who fights crime in quite a surprising way. Sophie: I really liked the surprise near the end – I won’t do a spoiler but how did you learn to become such a good writer? Mark: Thank you! I’m glad you liked it. It was very strange – the story kind of wrote itself. When the idea popped into my head I pretty much knew everything about it. That’s never happened before, trust me! Really, I think that having Charlie as a character is what enabled that to happen – you don’t know whether to laugh with him or give him a cuddle because you feel sorry for him!

Goods that by reason of their nature, cannot be returned - (Items such as underwear, where the 'hygiene patch' has been removed, or cosmetics where the seal has been broken). The sale of customised goods or perishable goods, sealed audio or video recordings, or software, which has been opened. A fitting farewell, still funny, acute, and positive in its view of human nature even in its 37th episode. The Dame Norton Diamond, the most expensive jewel ever stolen, has been MISSING for seven years – and so has my dad. Bad guys want to find him. The police want to find him.

The Den of Danger: Book 6 (Rory Branagan (Detective))

Toby: I love looking at pictures when I am reading a story – do you tell Ralph Lazar who draws the pictures what to draw, or does he give you ideas? Liz: Tom is based on ME. I was very like him in some ways – I liked doodling too. I drew lots of pictures and he just looked like a Tom. Hello. I am Rory Branagan. I am actually a detective. People always say, `How do you become a detective?' And I say, `Ahhhh... you don't just FIND YOURSELF suddenly sneaking up on baddies, or diving out of the way as they shoot, or hurtling from an open plane towards the ground! You have to want it.' And what made ME want it? I needed to find out wha thappened to my dad... Toby: I have only just started reading books by myself and your books make me want to read more – have you got any advice for people like me when they are choosing which books to read? Rory: I’ve always loved a laugh, and have learned more from being a comedian. I do loads of shows in schools. They are often wild, and I learn loads about what kids care about.

Rory: Yes, pictures make the books so much more welcoming. I also love Ralph, as well as his pictures, and when I’m writing, I’m always thinking of the things he loves to draw. He loves maps, and fantasy landscapes. Whenever I make Rory imagine a map, that’s like giving Ralph a treat. Mark: Hmmm. Great question. If I’d had a little brother, I’d like to think I could be as supportive, kind and understanding as Martin. I probably wouldn’t have been though I’m afraid!

Need Help?

Toby: The bit about unicorns in book two – The Dog Squad – made me laugh out loud.Your books are really funny! Have you always been funny? Rory: When I wrote it, he seemed so real, I really felt I knew him. Only afterwards did I remember my childhood best friend was a Dublin boy, who’d been adopted. He was amazing, but no one is exactly like Rory. I have some of his wild imagination and sense of FURY when things go wrong.
