A relentless, jokey story for older readers needing the encouragement of short, continuous text and plenty of slang and wham-bang action. Fearless Fiona is the daughter of a newspaper editor who undertakes to solve the theft of rubies from Mothproof Hall. The story isn't easy to follow and needs a fair degree of street awareness from the reader, so this is, perhaps, more suitable for the older, slower reader.
