More great reads: the best books for 9 year olds
A laugh-out-loud new adventure from Paddington star Hugh Bonneville, perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Horrid Henry and Just William, and filled with brilliantly funny illustrations from Loretta Schauer.
Rory Sparkes is pretty good at making up stories, but he doesn't usually find much inspiration in his neighbourhood. Until the day he stumbles upon a coded message hidden in a recipe book . . .
As he delves deeper into the mystery, Rory discovers:
1. More secret messages in strange places - but who is writing them? And who are they for?
2. His mum and teachers have begun guzzling cups of a rare (and rather disgusting) tea. What's got into them?
3. The link between 1 and 2 is a puzzle, and Rory Sparkes is determined to solve it!
With tea - and danger - brewing, will Rory unmask a dastardly spy ring, or simply find himself in very hot water?
