- Reading
- Try reading a section together and pause to discuss what the forensic details explain, and whether the humour changes how the person or their actions come across.
- Themes
- Crime, capture and forensic science: The book recounts fourteen historical figures described as criminals or troublemakers and focuses on how they were caught. The humorous framing is explicit, but it does not establish whether the book criticises, excuses or simply recounts the figures’ actions.
- Worth knowing
- The subjects include an assassin, a spy, a pirate and other people described as crooked or deadly. Consider whether a humorous treatment of crime suits your child.
