Sixpence None The Richer. I loved this group when I was a teenager. The song that I used to listen often was Kiss Me, Daisy. :D

Wow really? I only have a brief recollection of that book so it was a bit of a guess!

Errr, how about, what is Snubby's real name?

Thank you.

In Rockingdown Mystery, when the children learn the history of the old manor house, what were the names of the two children who died and how did each one die?

Well I guess someone will have to look this up! I believe one was ill and died young but in spite of having read the book within the last year, to my shame, I just can't remember the names.

I will forgo the names as it is too difficult.
Yes, one child became ill and died. Can you guess the other death? It was a domestic accident.

That is correct, Daisy.

Over to you, now!


Edit. It was Arabella who fell out the window and Robert who died of scarlet fever.
I forgot to add this earlier. :D

I thought "Arabella" but wasn't sure.

Mrs Lynton was called away when the family were on a caravan holiday. What was the reason?

Thank you Daisy.

In The Rubadub Mystery which imaginary instruments does Snubby "play" in the children's talent competition?

A banjo yes but not a mouth organ.
