"Idris and Lucía must combine their veterinarian and secret agent skills
to save Idris's mother from a sinister fate in this laugh-out-loud
chapter book series opener."--Publishers Weekly
My mom is absolutely definitely 100% NOT a spy. . . She works 50 hours a
week at Bingo Blott's Paperclip factory. When would she have time to be
a spy?
The first in a new chapter book series about a mom having a secret life
full of action, adventure and intrigue.
When Lucia and her dad come to stay for a week, Idris can't believe his
bad luck. He had prepared himself to share the TV remote and maybe some
of his toys, but he hadn't prepared himself for Lucia. Lucia LOVES
spying and-worst of all-she is convinced that Idris' mum is a spy. And
that just can't be true . . . can it?
But even Idris has to admit there is something a bit unusual about their
family trip to the zoo. Were his eyes playing tricks on him, or did
someone really drop something into Mum's bag? And why is Budi the
orangutan, who is normally so cheerful, suddenly off his food?
Maybe it's time for some spying, after all . . .
Andy McNab (yes, that definitely-not-a-spy author) and Jess French
(almost certainly a vet, TV presenter and international woman of mystery
children's author) join forces in this fun action-packed adventure!
Perfect for readers ages 7-10, spies, detectives, mystery solvers, and
puzzle lovers alike!
