    About this ebook

    I sighed heavily and picked a soggy leaf out of my hair, noticing a streak of blood as I caught my hand on a thorn. I'd been sitting in the hedge outside his house for so long I'd lost all feeling in my feet and my back was killing me. But hey, I'd got to know the rabbit who'd been sheltering from the damp with me so well she'd invited me to be godparent to her next litter. As one of my self-help books says, always look for the silver lining.
    I decided to give up because nothing seemed to be happening. Double-checking again that there was no one at the windows of the large 1930s semi, I cautiously stood up. Well, stooped up to be more accurate. Just as I was rubbing my aching spine, a car came speeding round the corner and screeched into the drive. A woman jumped out wearing more bling than you could find in Accessorize.
