No Category
The first in a funny, illustrated young-teen series about two resourceful children who foil kidnappers bent on stealing their brilliant father's ideas. This debut novel has a fast-paced plot, clever heroes, evil (albeit buffoonish) villains, a sly sense of humour and is filled with puns, word games, puzzles and even a recipe for meatloaf! Illustrations by internationally acclaimed artist Jeremy Holmes give the book even more kid appeal and make it a visual stand-out.
