Sally Jones and the False Rose
by Jakob Wegelius
Age Range: 12+
The Murderer’s Ape was a truly exceptional and memorable novel and the thrilling sequel Sally Jones and the False Rose (orThe False Rose in the hardback edition) certainly doesn’t disappoint. Here we meet Sally Jones, the gorilla who has learnt to understand how humans think, what they say and how to read and write! For many years she has worked as an engineer on the cargo ship the Hudson Queen with her friend Captain Henry Koskela, better known as the Chief.
When Sally Jones and The Chief find a curious rose-shaped necklace hidden inside the steering wheel of the Hudson Queen, it’s the beginning of another perilous adventure for them both. After discovering that the pendant on the necklace had been made by jewellers in Scotland, they decide to set sail from Lisbon for Glasgow determined to get to the bottom of the mystery. However, there are others who are eager to get their hands on the precious necklace and it is not long before Sally Jones and the Chief fall into the clutches of one of the city’s most ruthless gangs, run by the fearsome smuggler queen Moira Gray. The Chief is sent off on a sailing mission to smuggle goods while Sally Jones is kept prisoner until he returns.
Sally Jones is nothing, if not determined, and must use all her strength, tenacity and compassion to escape and unravel the mysterious story of the False Rose.
Swedish author and illustrator Jakob Wegelius has created another richly detailed mystery novel, excellently translated by Peter Graves, starring the lovable animal heroine, Sally Jones. Wegelius immerses the reader in Glasgow’s murky underworld of danger and intrigue and together with the striking atmospheric black and white illustrations that set the scene for each chapter together with the portraits of the main characters at the front of the book. There are plenty of twists and turns and a new set of characters to make up this masterful story full of adventure, treachery and powerful friendships.
