About this listen

Melody Bird has discovered an old abandoned house in the corner of the graveyard, and a mysterious boy hiding out there ...

Hal tells her that he's a spy-in-training, using the house as a base for his undercover surveillance of a known local criminal.

Her friends Matthew and Jake don't believe that a teenager would be entrusted with this mission and turn the tables to spy on him, uncovering secrets and unravelling a mystery as they go.

'A great cast of characters and an intriguing mystery. I loved it!' (on The Goldfish Boy) (Ross Welford, author of Time Travelling with a Hamster)
