A secondary-school English teacher, Dominic has lived and taught in Liverpool, London and Dorset. He is currently taking a sabbatical to concentrate on writing full time. SHARP STUFF, his first book about teenage detective Mickey Sharp, published in Corgi in January 1999, was shortlisted for the Branford Boase Award for first novels. Author lives- Corfe Castle, Dorset
Mickey Sharp, a clever 14-year-old who sets up a detective agency in his backyard shed, is delighted when the beautiful Madeleine brings him a mystery: She believes her younger brother is being bullied. Nothing stops Mickey as he dons the school uniform of a neighboring school and attempts to crack the case--and win Madeleine. Narrator Steven Pacey deftly recreates schoolyard chaos and classroom antics as the witty Mickey takes on bullies, parents, and teachers and solves his case. This fun yarn doubles as a good lesson for kids who have problems in school. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
