Meet Frankie Finkleton. Age 11 and one-twelfth, Frankie
has a BIG secret!
Well, lots of secrets, actually:
- She has a brother called Fred who is the Best Invention
Ever, and a baby sister called Flo who is her
arch-nemesis.
- She has a dog named Blue who has GIANT eyeballs
and tiny nostrils.
- Oh... And she's a teensy-weensy, squinchy bit MAGIC!
Frankie has a world inside her head called THOUGHTOPOLIS
- you just go through the eyeball, right at the skull,
past the brain stuff, and then second door on the right! It's great
fun, full of weird-and-wonderful places and creatures, and together,
she, Fred and Blue go on adventures.
Until one day, Frankie gets trapped, and has to uncover
a secret hidden deep within if she is to get back to the
Real World.
But when the truth changes everything, will Frankie want to go
back?
