Product description

Pamela Butchart meets Sam Copeland – like if Charlie changed into a chicken AND NEVER REALISES IT, in this hilarious, fantastic debut by Bethany Walker. 10-year-old Freddy Spicer writes letters to his parents – who he believes are working at a Brussels-sprouts farm in Outer Castonga, with no internet or phone access. In fact, Freddy’s parents are secret agents out of the country on a highly classified mission – but Freddy has NO IDEA! Throw in:

Grandad’s X-Ray specs;
A laser blaster that accidentally destroys the shed;
A strange new neighbour flirting with grandad; and
Suspicious goings-on at school . . .

Laugh-out-loud, high energy, fully illustrated fun for young readers!
