Corby Flood by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell is the second book in the delightful Far-Flung Adventures series — a whimsical and mysterious tale perfect for young readers who love eccentric characters and adventurous plots. Set aboard the shabby cruise liner S.S. Euphonia, the story follows the sharp-witted Corby Flood as she navigates a sea voyage brimming with oddities, from quirky passengers to secretive societies.
Corby, with her keen sense of observation and trusty notebook, soon notices peculiar goings-on that her boisterous brothers completely miss. A strange group of men in bowler hats, ominously known as The Brotherhood of Clowns, and a haunting wail from the ship’s hold set the stage for a curious mystery. Corby’s investigation leads her into the depths of the vessel, where she uncovers a mysterious crate and a secret that will take all her courage — and a little help from some impressively moustachioed locals — to solve.
Full of lively illustrations by Chris Riddell and Stewart’s trademark wit, Corby Flood offers a perfect blend of humour, intrigue, and adventure. Ideal for readers aged 9–12 who enjoy quirky mysteries with a touch of the absurd, it’s a captivating, character-rich story for young fans of adventure fiction.
