The Mum Hunt

Esmie misses her mum, even though she was only a baby when she died. She has a photo by her bed-and sometimes, when she needs advice or just fancies a chat, she asks her mum for help. But Esmie thinks her dad is lonely. And her big brother Matthew would definitely benefit from a female influence. So Esmie decides to take action - she's going to find her dad a girlfriend. Beautiful, clever, charming, kind to children and animals... How hard can it be?

Who is writing them? Why is Mr Dedman, the headmaster, so apoplectic? As if the mystery at school wasn't enough, Tim discovers his father dressing up as Wonder Woman....
