THE BEANSTALK MURDER by P.G. Bell
Author: P.G. Bell
When a giant tumbles from the clouds and lands with a crash, Anwen Sedge is the first to realise the shocking truth… he was already dead before he hit the ground. This is no accident, but the beginning of a mystery that will test her courage, cunning, and magic to the very limits.
With no time to waste, Anwen joins forces - very reluctantly - with her ambitious rival, Cerys. Together they attempt to send a warning up a magic beanstalk, but instead find themselves catapulted into the magnificent yet perilous palace of the giants. There, they uncover an even greater truth: the victim was none other than the king of the giants, and someone in the Sky Kingdom is hiding a deadly secret. Now trapped in a world where they are small enough to be squashed underfoot, Anwen must draw on every scrap of her Meadow Witch training.
Clues, riddles, and red herrings swirl around her as suspicion falls in every direction. Can she and Cerys unmask the killer before the next victim is chosen, and before they themselves are silenced forever?
Brimming with humour, heart, and high-stakes adventure, THE BEANSTALK MURDER is a magical whodunnit that twists and turns like the beanstalk itself. Perfect for readers aged 9–14 who love fairy-tale retellings, clever mysteries, and fearless young heroes.
