Description

A quirky, yet strangely educational Middle Grade adventure-mystery that the whole family can enjoy. Is Mason Wilson just another wimpy kid? Wimps don't embark on an unauthorized night-time trip to a strange, old factory! He'll do anything to stop his penniless family being thrown out of their home. There's a mystery to solve to win the grand prize - if you hardly ever find dead birds lying around, why are whole flocks of them starting to fall from the sky all over the place? Is it true that it's a sign of the end of the world? Mason uncovers some gross goings-on and plans that will change the world for ever. Should he do the right thing and try and stop them? He'll lose an opportunity of a lifetime if he does; still, when his parents find out he's gone missing, that will be the least of his worries!

"Wherever I was, it smelled of pee. But where was I? And how did I get here? I slowly came to my senses. My eyes were wide open now - at least I was pretty sure they were. I still couldn't see a thing. All I could really hear was a low, humming sound. Was it an engine, maybe? I tried hard to see if I could hear anything else; but there was nothing. Wait though - was that music I could hear? I listened so hard that my brain hurt. It sounded like an orchestra playing.
I was feeling quite seasick; although I was pretty sure I wasn't on a boat. Was I in some sort of van though? Just then, the vehicle must have hit a pothole and I was thrown right into a corner. I banged my head on the wall and that wasn't a great help; I was already feeling a bit faint. It stunk so bad in there that it made me want to throw up. What I could smell was actually the biggest clue. I was almost certain that it was pee, but somehow I knew it didn't smell like the school toilets always do. What made it different? Was it from an animal? I was sure I knew it from somewhere. From... from... from... from the garden at home, that was where! All at once, the memories came right back to me. I was, believe it or not, sharing the back of a white lorry with thirty cats (most of them obviously not toilet trained) plus a few hundred dead birds. Yes, you did just read that. The good news was that I hadn't been kidnapped, but the bad news was that I'd actually decided to get myself into this situation on purpose... " - Prologue

Amazon Review: "I have never read a novel quite like this - it is absolutely original and bizarre in many respects but well written in an engaging, pleasing style."

Amazon Review: "Didn't take me long to read this book as it grabbed me right at the beginning... this is a great read for children and also adults too who fancy a bit of light reading. Found it to be very informative as well. Good book - good buy."
