An incredible adventure is about to begin!

We all know someone like Thomas. The grumpy next-door neighbour who complains to the residents' committee about the state of your front lawn.

An explosive, highly charged, and hilarious middle-grade adventure from Mark Haddon, acclaimed author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. From the moment that Jim and his best friend, Charlie, bug the staff room and overhear two of their teachers speaking to each other in a secret language, they know there's an adventure on its way. But what does "spudvetch" actually mean, and why do Mr. Kidd's eyes flicker with fluorescent blue light when Charlie says it to him? Perhaps Kidd and Pearce are bank robbers talking in code. Perhaps they're spies.

And all is fair in love and war when it comes to keeping their home. A modern classic in the making reminiscent of the Penderwicks series.

For the '70s child, summer holidays didn't mean the joy of CentreParcs or the sophistication of a Tuscan villa. They meant being crammed into a car with Grandma and heading to the coast. With just a tent for a home and a bucket for the necessities, we would set off on new adventures each year stoically resolving to enjoy ourselves. For Emma Kennedy, and her mum and dad, disaster always came along for the ride no matter where they went.

Publisher's summary
Whiffy Newton, real first name Alfred, hardly looks like a crack amateur super-sleuth.
His clothes are too short and too tight. He never gets picked first for sports. And he has poor eyesight.
But he's got his two best friends - Doreen and Paz - and together, the three friends form the detective outfit The Agency.
Until now, The Agency has only handled the discreet enquiries of other put-upon children at Kentwood High. But The Case of the Dastardly Deeds sees them take on their biggest, their craziest, their most dangerous case yet.

Emmy was a good girl—too good, perhaps. The rat, whose cage sat on the counter next to Emmy’s desk, was not so good. On the other hand, he was the only one in Emmy’s class who would talk to her. The rest of the kids barely knew she existed. Even her teacher didn’t seem to know she was there! Only her nanny, the lovely-but-sinister Miss Barmy, really pays her much attention.
