“Combine two of our favourite genres, mysteries and funny books, throw in a whip-smart young heroine, laugh-out-loud gags and a pet mouse, plus brilliant illustrations by Mr Gum illustrator David Tazzyman, and you have a sure-fire hit. Don't miss this one.”
~Sarah
Cecily Sawyer has spent the evening in the attic, training her pet mouse, Mrs Maple Syrup – an unusually intelligent mouse, in Cecily’s opinion – when her parents disappear.
Luckily, Cecily is more than ready to investigate such a thing. She has wanted to be a spy her whole life, and has all the spy handbooks, manuals and code-cracking kits a girl could need.
But soon, Cecily discovers several very strange things in her city. She’s not the only spy out there – far from it, in fact. And Mrs Maple Syrup is not the only unusually intelligent mouse…
Iona Rangeley grew up in Norfolk and studied English at Oxford, where she developed a love of children's books. She has wanted to be a writer since her debut novel, Sam and the Pig, which she wrote when she was five.
