About this ebook
I never thought my mum’s bad memory would lead me to another case.
It was Friday evening. Mum had spent the afternoon gardening in the front yard and was enjoying a well deserved cup of tea. Dad was helping me with my homework.
I would have been happy to leave it until bedtime Sunday night. Dad was aware of this and decided that we could get it all done tonight. And by “we”, I mean “me”. Dad’s idea of helping was covering the kitchen table in all my books and asking me more questions than my teacher.
Mum didn’t feel like cooking. So she went out for fish and chips.
Half an hour later, Mum was home again. “I’ll just go and get a lemon,” I said.
I went out the back, past the garage and down to the lemon tree in the corner of our yard. Our lemon tree always seems to have lemons on it, no matter what time of year it is.
I stopped, and looked at the lemon tree in surprise. There were hardly any lemons.
Who has stolen the lemons? Can Courtney and her trusty sidekick Laura solve the case?

Note to Americans
Hi, this is Courtney Case and I live in Australia. Because of that, the spelling of some words may seem a bit strange to you. Words that end in ize in America often end in ise in Australia (such as fossilise and realise). Tires is spelled tyres, color is spelled colour, and lots of other little things.
We also say some things a bit differently, like Maths instead of
