Schoolgirl, Olivia Sharp, bored with her little rich girl existence, sets herself up in business: Agent for Secrets she becomes. In her first case she comes to the aid of dull Duncan who yearns for the friendship of Desiree; in the second her services are called on by Mr Baybreath, her school headmaster, when Desiree decides to set herself up as 'Princess of Fillmore Street School'.

Two amusing, very American, short stories for would-be secret agents and others who like their humour slightly off-beat. Highly approachable format for new solo readers.
