If You Like Jill Paton Walsh Books, You’ll Love…
The Wyndham Case is the first book in the Imogen Quy book series. The book starts with what seems like a tragic accident. Phillip Skellow has slipped, banged his head, and ultimately died from his injuries. There are rumors that he was stealing books, but that doesn’t change the fact that it was an accident. However, the college nurse, Imogen Quy, has her doubts. When another student is found dead, drowned in an ornamental fountain, she knows that she is correct and sets out to investigate.
Jill Patton Walsh also wrote The Green Book. The story sees Pattie and her family as some of the last people to flee from the dying Earth. They take an old spaceship and head towards a distant planet that is meant to be their new home. They begin to settle this shiny new world, but they soon discover that their colony is in danger. There is nothing on the planet that is edible and the ground may not be able to grow anything. Their supplies start to dwindle and now Pattie and her sister must decide if they want to take a chance that will make this place livable.
