    About this ebook

    Innocence, the stupidest boy in the world, is convinced killer mosquitoes from the sun are coming to destroy Earth. So he sets out on a quest to persuade Liquorice, a reclusive inventor girl, to sew up the hole in the Ozone layer to keep them out. Together they must save the world! (If only Liquorice would take him seriously...)

    It’s got KitKat-addicted pheasants, it’s got a space rocket, it’s got mouldy orange juice, it’s got a shady-eyed, evil boss... And yes, it’s even got a curly-whiskered cat called Dame Bartholomew Crustacean!

    Author

    Jessica Waring

    Jessica Waring is the author of Sinister Inventions. She was born on that fateful day, 20th January 1989, on which nothing in particular happened. She has been smiling awkwardly at everyone ever since. Once, she went on a celery and rhubarb only diet, which lasted 5 minutes when she realised what celery tastes like. She is from dear old Blighty but currently lives in New Zealand with her partner and any small animals that accidentally come too near them. Sinister Inventions is her finest (and only) work to date.
