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!
