Detective Societies in real life!

April 15, 2021

Naureen-detective

One of my favourite things to hear about are fans who’ve decided to create their own versions of the Detective Society – and I’m particularly delighted to find out that one enterprising society has made it all the way to the pages of The Week Junior!

Naureen and her society, the BFFs (the Brilliant Fearless Four), have been featured in a recent edition of the magazine – they’ve learned shorthand, Pig Latin and Morse Code, they have their own detective kits and they meet regularly, on Zoom and (soon) in person!

Congratulations to Naureen and the rest of the BFFs – I’m so proud to inspire you!

I love hearing what fans are getting up to, so if you’ve got a story to tell me you can always send me an email about it. Please remember to tell a safe adult what you’re up to before you do – ideally, copy them in to the email or send it from their address!
