“Annoyingly good.” – David Baddiel

“Ivor is a funny, clever and brilliant writer, so it’s no surprise that he’s written such a funny, clever and brilliant book, which is also heartwarming and full of joy. The man’s a marvel.” – Dermot O’Leary

Someone is threatening to  destroy  Britain’s Biggest New Star, the country’s favourite TV talent show.

The secret service decides to send in  two young spies, twins Harry and Abby, to investigate. Their ticket backstage is their father, washed up comedian Gus, who believes the contest is his chance to revive his career.

The list of suspects is long, and the twins don’t know whom to trust. But they better track down the culprit soon, before  disaster strikes the show  – and its royal guest!

  • Perfect for fans of books by David Walliams and Tom Fletcher, and Maz Evans’s  Vi Spy.
  • The cover and spine feature shiny gold lettering, and the book includes black and white illustrations throughout by James Lancett.
