Description

When the wind on the moon blows straight into Dinah and Dorinda’s hearts it means that they can’t help but behave badly for a whole year. Transformed into kangaroos, they terrorise the sleepy town of Midmeddlecum with glee. But what they don’t count on is being locked in a zoo. Things get even stickier for the mischievous sisters when they learn their father has been imprisoned in a dungeon by Count Hulagu Bloot, the tyrant of Bombardy. Their poor father! Can they rescue him in time?

Including a ‘backstory’ section. Find out what life was like when this book was written and meet some naughty children!
