'Agatha Christie for kids' - the fourth in a detective agency series brimming with mystery and magic by million-copy-selling author, Sally Gardner, and illustrated by acclaimed artist, David Roberts.
It's Hallowe'en and the town of Podgy Bottom is in trouble. Cars are being shrunk to the size of a matchbox in the blink of an eye; a giant purple bunny rabbit is running riot and a strange-looking broomstick is causing chaos and calamity . . .
Sounds like a case for Wings & Co, the famous detective agency! Can Emily, Buster and Fidget put a stop to this magical mischief before it's too late?
Includes Wings and Co detective case notes, character profiles and clues.

This is a brilliant book in an excellent series, I would recommend it for boys and girls from 8 upwards, but teachers or parents could read it aloud to even younger children. I hope Sally Gardner will write more in this series. - Guardian
