Budding investigative reporter Antonia Cutlass isn't
happy.
Her bedroom has been overrun with unsavoury guests from
the visiting carnival, her career as a journalist seems
to have ended before it has even begun and, since ex-best
friend Kat started hanging out with the popular Sock sisters,
she doesn't have any friends.
When a school project leads to a surprising discovery
inside a weasel ball, Ant thinks she is onto the scoop
of the century. But someone else knows what Ant has discovered
and they are willing to do just about anything to get
their property back.
Ant has to quickly unravel the mystery of Operation Weasel
Ball - but who can she trust? It seems like everyone is
in on the heist - even her mum!
Operation Weasel Ball is published by Pan Macmillan.
and is written and illustrated by Nicki Greenberg.
Antonia's mum runs the world's most embarrassing theatre
restaurant.
At Clams & Cutlasses the food is horrible, the show
is appalling… and the cockroaches are taking over.
Even worse, in just two weeks Captain Jack - Ant's mum
- is going to ruin Ant's life.
With the help of a rubber octopus, a handful of stinky
prawns and an unsuspecting health inspector, Ant sets
out to close the doors of Clams & Cutlasses for good.
But just how far is Ant willing to go to avoid total credibility
breakdown?
Will Gutless Cutlass follow through? Will it end in disaster?
And who will really walk the plank?
Antonia Cutlass Walks the Plank is published by
Pan Macmillan, and is written and illustrated by Nicki
Greenberg.
Praise for Antonia Cutlass Walks the Plank:
'Funny and original… a laugh-out-loud success'
