Game Let's play .... Charades!

Booooonus hint that won’t help! I did another book by this author ages ago

 

The mysterious disappearance of Leon (I mean Noel) by Ellen Raskin?

 

"Kings of Leon - Only by the Night Songbook" haha

 

That seems to tick all the boxes...
Mystery Inc
Disappearing under the sheet
Leon Trotsky (famously killed with an ice pick)
Noel Gallagher of Oasis

 

Found the other Ellen Raskin clue

 

Oh come on !
(That’s way too sneaky and way too intellectual for me)

 

And now I have this stuck in my head

“Whatever happened to Leon Trotsky?
He got an ice pick
That made his ears burn”

 

That's it! Had an explanation all worked up but I guess I don't need that now. Good job Princess!

But I still owe Amber an explanation lol. When we were trying to figure out Princess' last charade, you said

In this book, when Leon/Noel disappears underwater, he says something that is partially obscured by him bobbing up and down in the water, so all they hear is "Noel *glub* C *blub* all...I *glub* new..." And a good bit of the book is the other characters trying to figure out wtf he said. So your "the something (x)all" made me think of that!

It's such a silly little book but it's fun!

 

Well done @PrincessPraise
Mutter… grumble…

 

Well done, Miss "Never do well on books"

 

*Takes a bow*

Google is my friend. I had never heard of it. Someone getting "Leon" helped immensely.

 

It has fun illustrations (that sometimes have clues) too!

Ok I'll stop selling it lol

 

Maybe I’ll track down a copy for Scarlet? Is she the right age range for it ?

 

It's definitely kid-appropriate but advanced enough that I don't think she'd be bored. I checked, and most sites I saw have it rated for 8-12 years, and I think I was in that range the first time I read it

 

Ofc the last time I read it was a couple years ago which I guess says something about my mental age lol

 

Category: Book (series, turned into a film)
Words: Four




(Apologies in advance for the inappropriate imagery depicting this book, given it's theme)

 

I mean I get what you're saying but I think I can safely say no. apology. needed.

 

And thank you for putting these images in my head right before I head off to work lol

 

I instantly thought of “ a series of unfortunate events” but it’s too many words and they sure don’t look unfortunate

 

(Plus, I can see why you take so many baths now @PrincessPraise )
