Kitten Kaboodle, Number One Secret Agent at CAT (the
Clandestine Activity Taskforce) is on the job again and proves a match for the
members of DOG (Disaster Organisation
Group) when they try to beat him to discover the secrets lying beneath the
desert at Lightning Ridge. This looks like an early chapter book for beginning
readers but in spite of its looks, it is quite challenging reading for that age
group and is sophisticated enough to be enjoyed (and laughed over) by readers
up to 10. (Lightning Ridge is in New
South Wales and is said to have the largest deposits of black opals on earth).
Year 3 up/ Age 7 up
