KPE Episode 160 " The Short Division of the WSS : Case Two"

"The Short Division of the World Secret Service - Case Two: Stolen Children" by Robin Kerr.
This is the second book in the series and Tinei read it during the school holidays and Simone is interviewing her about it. We hope all our blog readers have listened to the podcast before this and have caught on that this is a series we are talking about here. And if you are following the comments you will see that the author has told us a bit more about it too.

In this book Lucie and Rodney are back on the case.
Lucie and her best friend, Rodney, have been officially made agents for the Short Division of the World Secret Service. The World Secret Service resolves dangerous situations threatening the world. The Short Division is responsible for solving the Service’s cases that involve young people.

During Case One: Bobblings, they discovered Lucie’s mother hadn’t died in a car accident years ago, but had been kept as a prisoner all that time. She is undergoing counseling to help her recover from her her terrible experience. Lucie and her family are waiting anxiously for their mother’s return.

Meanwhile, toy company’s websites are being attacked with a virus that paralyzes them. At each attack, a code is left behind. Lucie and Rodney are assigned the case. They have to discover if the virus author is teasing his victims by leaving behind a calling card—or whether the codes are a call for help. At the same time, homeless aid organizations are reporting street children are disappearing. Is it possible the two events are related?

Using their many talents Lucie and Rodney discover where the attacks are coming from. They have to do international travel, rock climbing and a carry out a terrifying underground race before a wicked man’s plans can be stopped.

At Pt England School we really appreciate both the talent and the support of Robin Kerr. First she writes stories we enjoy reading. Second she actually listens to our podcasts and reads our blog! You should read these books too - they are cool!

  3. Simone and Tinei,

    My Mum (who lives in Wellington) told me tonight that you had podcasted Case Two, so I just sat down and listened to it. You've done another great job! One of the things I'm supposed to do as a writer is explain my stories in just a few sentences, but I'm useless at it - I take far too long to explain everything, but you two did it very well. I'm so glad you're enjoying the series. I'll mail over Case Three as soon as it's published - and you've made me think I should work harder on Case Four. It's coming along, but very slowly. It's written in Lucie's voice (first person), so it's a little different for me.
    In the mean time, keep up the wonderful reading and podcasting and I'll have to see if I can fit a robotic dog into one of the books somewhere.
    Robin.

  7. Hi Simone and Tinei! What an exciting story. Children being kidnapped and then rescued by children. Climbing through mountains alone! Wow!! Yes there sure sounds like a lot of rockclimbing. I got to see you rockclimbing in the video Miss King brought back to school. I do hope other children will read the book you made a podcast for! Looking forward to your next podcast.
