It's the first day of the New Year. Ozzie and his mate Fletch are rounding up equipment for a specialised scientific experiment - while at the same time, trying to avoid a dose of the dreaded 'juvenile overwork syndrome'. Unfortunately, Dad gets donged on the head by a wayward golf ball; which causes Mum to suffer from extreme exasperation - whilst young sister Holly (alias The Brat), and the pesky Forest Sprites continue to make double-trouble for our unlikely heroes. This third Ozzie Kingsford title is another ripping good read for kids aged 7-10
