'Agatha Christie for kids' - a new mystery in the detective agency series brimming with mystery and magic by million-copy-selling author, Sally Gardner.
The detectives at Wings and Co are in a bit of bother. There is a lost leprechaun on the loose and carpets are flying all over the village of Podgy Bottom, as if by magic. Oh, and worst of all, Fidget the cat has vanished on VERY URGENT business. It looks like a tricky case for our fairy detectives . . .

David Roberts's spooky illustrations have a Goreyesque detail that is perfect. The poignancy of Emily's plight is offset by a buoyancy that counters the acid wit with which her world is described ... this brims with quirky charm reminiscent of Eva Ibbotson, Joan Aiken and early JK Rowling. - Amanda Craig, THE TIMES on OPERATION BUNNY
Wonderfully imaginative, full of quirky humour and delightfully illustrated. - www.parentsintouch.co.uk on THREE PICKLED HERRINGS
