Tan′s back. She′s bolder. She′s brighter.
But is she ... jinxed?
Dear Diary
I am writing to you with the aid of my Mail Order Moose Pen -- you know, the one that had edible antlers ...
Dad put an old tram in our back paddock. It has Follow Me Through the Shadow painted on it.
Obviously that tram is full of secrets. I bet it is even haunted. The problem is I can′t get inside. I am banned.
Just as well I am a Secret Spy. Just as well I am cunning and ... stealthy.
This could be my biggest case. This could make me famous.
It is exciting to be me.
