Barry Carter and his friends in Ridley Road are back in another curious adventure. They have noticed that there are a lot of visitors to the rented house at the end of the street and that many people disappear inside never to be seen again.

This second Rented House story will, like the first, keep you guessing and chuckling as you try to unravel the mystery of what or who is living at 22 Ridley Road. When all is revealed, you simply won't believe it! Phil Cummings' understanding of the way young readers see the world and talk about it has made him one of Australia's most successful picture book writers. His first novel 'Angel', contained the same warmth and humur, the same power of observation and authentic language that have made him so appealing to younger readers. His other titles with Random House Australia include, 'A Peice of Mind', 'The Rented House', 'On the Run' and 'Breakaway'.
