Summer hols are boring for Sally, Jamie and Ben - until their ball flies into Professor Venables' garden. Suddenly, they're swept into a series of adventures surrounding the professor's amazing telescope. The gang are sworn to secrecy. The invention plays an increasingly important part in their lives, including a close shave with an international spy, meeting Captain Murphy of the NYPD, a flight to New York, and being rescued from the clutches of an anonymous 'benefactor'. When tragedy strikes, help comes from an unexpected source. They escape their captors and, on their return home, the professor reveals a dark secret ... and they all go into business! 'This is a powerful story of true friendship between three twelve year olds - sometimes heartbreaking - who always find a way to survive. I'm a grandfather and found it an enthralling read.' '... a charming evocative story. Margaret has created an imaginative and exciting world and climate for her readers.' Also by Margaret Reeves: Set in the Second World War '... portrays the period in beautiful detail.'
