About this listen

From award-winning author, Alan Barbara comes a delightful laugh-out-loud detective mystery. It's for children aged 8-13.

Runner-up in the children’s category for the Isle of Wight Book Awards 2022.

‘A great, thumping-good yarn for a child’- Alan Titchmarsh.

What do you get when you mix some albino terrier fur and sand from Alum Bay? Timothy Pinkerton knows, and he’ll do anything to get his grubby hands on more of what he needs for his secret formula. Anything, including hypnotising the town’s residents and stealing their homes.

It looks like another boring summer of collecting crisp packets and playing the bagpipes for twelve-year-old Lottie Baxter. But a crazy adventure begins when she’s given a pencil case full of gadgets with remarkable abilities. Not a minute too soon! It falls on Lottie and her eccentric and cheese-loving great granddad, Cheddar George, to save Alum Bay and put a stop to Timothy Pinkerton’s evil plan to become a gazillionaire.
