Carrick Heroine Star of New Kids’ Books
Published by Carrickfergus Times
A young detective from Carrickfergus is to star in an upcoming series of fiction books for children.
Katherine of Carrick will, according to a blurb from its publishers, follow the adventures of the “world’s youngest history detective who is determined to put girls back on the map”. Currently being produced by Hampshire-based ProjectPublish Ltd, the children’s book is due for release in October this year.
The novels were drawn to the attention of Carrickfergus Borough Council on Monday night with a letter from ProjectPublish’s Katherine Holmes, herself a former resident of the town. Requesting the local authority’s permission to reproduce the Carrickfergus coat of arms in the series, Ms Holmes said: The story is based in Carrickfergus and revolves around many of the characters that make up the history of the town; the series includes references to John Paul Jones and King John.
