Whether you’re a reluctant reader or an avid one this brilliant series with four titles out so far – Ouch, Thumb¸ Sock and now Pigeon – is set in a school where weird things happen each and every day. They will certainly provide hours of entertainment and there’s plenty of humour and lots of jokes to make you laugh out loud. The two main characters, Sam and Sara get up to all sorts of mischief as well as solving mysteries – all in a school day’s work!!
Something strange is going on at Freekham High. Ginger Mutton was always the quiet, unpopular one. Now everybody wants to hear what she has to say - because she's started to predict the future. With a sock. And sockingly enough, her predictions are coming true - just not always to the right people! It seams to be another darned Freekham mystery.
