About This Book
The scratch of pens and the rustle of paper fill the air as the Thea Sisters huddle together, ready to launch their school newspaper. But when Colette’s diary vanishes and Nicky spots something strange at the Iron Mouse Games, secrets start to bubble beneath the surface. Can the Sisters unravel the mysteries before the next issue goes to print?
