The Green Ambulance Caper

By Alan Horsfield and Jan D'Silva

Have you ever described someone as a couch potato or called a dud car a lemon? How do you think this makes a potato or lemon feel? Tiffany finds out it's not fair to the plants.

But there are people who are really nasty to plants - the Topiary Twins, Nettle and Thistle. They do dastardly things. They even keep some plants captive. They are villains of the worst kind.

Tiffany discovers Bindi and Dusty Thorn have a green ambulance. They care for plants that have been mistreated and try to stop the vile schemes of the Topiary Twins.

To be really successful there must be a showdown with the twins... Not something to be relished!

There was a strange wailing in the distance. Hoo-woo, hoo-woo. Not a siren, but …

I pursed my lips. I was making a decision.

More ‘hoo-woos’, getting closer.
