October 2025 - Barnaby Books UK Launches Debut Children's Detective Series
Bath-based independent publisher expands catalogue with exciting new mystery adventures.
We are delighted to announce the publication of our first children's detective book series, marking an exciting new chapter for the independent publisher.
Written by Michael Anthony, the series brings young sleuths a fresh blend of clever mysteries, memorable characters, and page-turning adventure that will keep readers guessing until the very end.
We've always believed in publishing stories that kids genuinely want to read. We knew immediately we'd found something special. These books have mystery, humour, heart, and characters that feel like friends you'd want to solve crimes with.
The series is aimed at young readers who love puzzles, adventure, and stories that don't talk down to them. Each book combines satisfying mysteries with warmth and authenticity.
"I wanted to write the kind of mysteries I loved as a kid—the ones you race through because you're desperate to know whodunnit, but also secretly hope will never end." - Michael Anthony
The series is available now through Amazon.co.uk and the Kindle store.
