Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's first novel-and the origin story of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson-is reimagined in the first unabridged, fully illustrated version since its debut, by acclaimed and bestselling illustrator Gris Grimly.

An upbeat, funny, and life-affirming approach to the problem of bullying. Suzanne had thought that the bullying was over once Karenna left the school three year ago. But when she gets a Saturday job in the local hairdressing salon she discovers that Karenna is the junior stylist there and suddenly the old feelings of terror, dread, and sickness in the pit of her stomach come back. Suzanne realizes that in order to get on with her life, she must rid herself of the past ...and of Karenna. * Deals with the issue of bulling in a positive way - in the same vain as a Jacqueline Wilson novel. * Author has previously been nominated for the Carnegie Medal. * Total sales of author's first three titles for OUP are over 20,000 copies, which is outstanding for an up-and-coming author. * Helena Pielichaty lives in Newark, Nottinghamshire. Now reissued in smaller, mass-market format.
