Bee is in her element working in the taxidermy department at the Museum of Natural History, but her summer job turns out to be full of surprises: a dead body in the Red Rotunda. A mysterious Museum benefactor. A large stuffed tiger in the Catacombs. A handsome boy with a fascination for unusual animal mating habits. And a pocketful of glass eyes. Can Bee sift through the clues to discover whether her mentor really committed suicide...or is there a murderer in their midst
"Smart, slick, funny, with sharp edges. Lili Wilkinson is like a coolgeekgirl Agatha Christie." --Simmone Howell, author, Notes from the Teenage Underground
Lili Wilkinson was born in Melbourne, Australia, in the front room where her parents still live. She was first published when she was twelve, in Voiceworks magazine. After studying Creative Arts at Melbourne University, Lili worked on insideadog.com.au, the Inky Awards and the Inkys Creative Reading Prize at the Centre for Youth Literature, State Library of Victoria. She now spends most of her time reading and writing books for teenagers. She's won awards for the writing part, but not the reading, unless you count the stopwatch she won once in the MS Readathon.
