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 . . .
