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!
