Book description
Stanley Wells is an ordinary boy, who happens to be quite curious.
His friends are the mysterious Dr Moon and his canine companion
Morcambe. Together they seem to stumble upon strange happenings and
trip over mysteries that just need solving...
Stanley is sleeping in the caravan at the bottom of the garden of
his new house. He awakes at the sound of an odd whooooomphing noise
and goes to investigate. There appear to be new trees in the garden...
very odd. And now his mum and the twins are missing - could these
things be connected. And what about Jim, the old man who lives in the
woods with his parrot telling tales of the sea? Could he be involved
somehow. Dr Moon is the only person who can help Stanley with this
puzzle and luckily he's on his way...
