The man’s a marvel.” – Dermot O’Leary “Kids are going to go crazy for this brilliant book!” “Ivor Baddiel tells a rip-roaring good story – pesky, gleeful and very funny” – Mel Giedroyc “This is a terrifically funny “whodunnit” children’s book” – Peter Dickson (voice of the X Factor) Someone is threatening to destroy Britain’s Biggest New Star, the country’s favourite TV talent show. The secret service decides to send in two young spies, twins Harry and Abby, to investigate. Their ticket backstage is their father, washed up comedian Gus, who believes the contest is his chance to revive his career. The list of suspects is long, and the twins don’t know whom to trust. But they better track down the culprit soon, before disaster strikes the show – and its royal guest!
