Nobody knew it at that moment, but only three things stood in the way of
the complete destruction of the Earth: one elderly parrot; one
eight-year-old spelling mistake; and an intrepid young
schoolgirl-turned-reporter in search of a story....
Greta Zargo needs a big scoop if she's going to win the
Prilchard-Spritzer Medal, the quite famous award for great reporting.
But big scoops are in short supply in the quiet little town of Upper
Lowerbridge, and all Greta's got to investigate is a couple of missing
cakes. But then, with a whoosh of unknown energy, a mysterious silver
robot descends from the sky....
A laugh-out-loud funny new series from the author of the critically
acclaimed The Imaginary, perfect for fans of Mr Gum, Chris Riddell,
and Philip Reeve and Sarah McIntryre's Oliver and the Seawigs.
