3. I'm now definitelya detective!
4. And I needyour help investigating my second case!
Since my last diary, Mum's been promoted and we now live on a cruise ship with a mini-golf course, an ice-cream parlour and a MEGA SLIDE! And The Gang, my amazing friends who are all over 80, have come along too!

So, do you want to be definitely-a-detective too and help me solve the kidnap at sea?
