Whiffy Newton in The Mystery of the Marble Beach Mugger

by Rebecca Lim, Rebecca Lim (Illustrator)

Overview

It's summer at last! And the mysterious Agency for Creative Enterprise has packed Whiffy and his father off on an all-expenses-paid holiday to sleepy Marble Beach so that Dr Newton can finish testing his latest loopy invention, The Hydrolator.

But Marble Beach's residents are being terrorised by a fiend who strikes at the worst time and place - dinnertime and in the vicinity of Marble Beach's only fish and chip shop.

Can Whiffy and his best friends, Doreen and Paz, discover the identity of the Marble Beach Mugger before minimum chips become merely a fond memory for the town's terrified and hungry citizens?
