The dreadful strangers moved in on a wild and windy Thursday. ‘Fudgenuts,’ cursed Picklewitch, adjusting her cracked binoculars to get a better view of the comings-and-goings. ‘This won’t do at all. I bet they haven’t even bought me any cake.’
Picklewitch is, quite literally, out of her tree. She has a nose for naughtiness, a taste for trouble and a weakness for cake. And unluckily for brainbox Jack – winner of the ‘Most Sensible Boy in School’ for the third year running – she’s about to choose him as her new best friend . . .
NOBODY tells ME what to do BECUZ. I DUZ what I LIKES and I LIKES what I DUZ OH YES!
Jack’s new best friend Picklewitch is still causing marvellous mischief at St Immaculate’s School for the Gifted. When she receives a letter from her cousin Archie Cuckoo, telling her he’s coming to stay, Jack worries that she’ll lose interest in him.
But this new cousin turns out to be unexpectedly nice, and it’s Picklewitch whose nose is put out of joint when Archie and Jack get along really well. But Archie is not all he seems, and soon both Picklewitch and Jack realise there are sinister plans afoot!
