The Snorkel-Bottom-Wrinkle-Puff

By Elisabeth Lynton

Derek wanted to turn seven, but with no matching socks and a room that looks like the night after a pirate party, it didn’t look promising. After seeing flowers growing from his sock draw and overhearing a conversation about parents murdering children for untidy rooms he knew he was done for. Derek, along with his best friend Jack, set out to find the culprit and prove it was not his fault, only to find more trouble. With his birthday less than a week away and the promise from his parents that he won’t reach it if his room is not tidy, he needs to find the solution and fast.

Derek jumped up with a start, scattering his DSI game he secretly played last night, to the floor. He felt excited about his best friend staying a few nights. He blinked…flowers again?
