Review:
You've got blackmail by Rachel Wright
Faber and Faber, 2007
A laugh out loud story about Loz, who with her boyfriend, Dex, try to
track down a blackmailer, extorting money form their despised teacher,
Mr Barnett. The letter, opened in error, has clues that they follow to
hunt down the person involved. But trying to keep the detective work
quiet, when the teacher concerned is going out with her mum, and Dex's
little brother thinks he is a spy, and Loz's older sister screams for
England, and your father has just left home, and the suspected
blackmailer works for mum, then things are a little complicated.
Quirky, hilarious and brimful of wonderfully eccentric characters,
You've got blackmail is sure to
tickle the sensibilities of upper primary and lower secondary pupils.
