NEWSFLASH! This competition is now closed – results have been posted here!

Over the past week, my lovely marketing team have been sending out beautiful detective notebooks to celebrate the upcoming release of Jolly Foul Play (24th of March, less than two months to go!). They’ve gone out to bloggers, booksellers and reviewers – and now I want to make sure that fans have a chance to grab some too.

My publishers, Puffin, have given me the go-ahead to hold a competition to give one aspiring detective (and their best friend) their very own Jolly Foul Play notebooks. Not only is there plenty of space inside them to let you write down your own cases, but there’s a special extract of Jolly Foul Play in the back, and a few handy tips on how to become an even better detective in the front of the book.

I’m launching the competition now, and closing it in a week’s time, on Monday 15th February at 3:30pm. It’s open to all British and Irish fans under the age of 18, and you can enter either by posting a comment here, or commenting on my Instagram post.

All I want to know from you is this: if you won these notebooks, what mystery would you and your detective society try to solve?

Answers below or on Instagram, please – and good luck! May the best society win!
