Stuart Horton is a boy at the age of 10. He moves to Beaton thinking it's going to be the dullest place he has ever moved to, but to his surprise it seems to be a rather big Adventure as he tries to find his missing Uncle Toni's workshop or his stage name teeny tiny Toni Horten. Stuart seems to do what ever it takes to find it but it turns out he is not the only one. There are triplets next door from him that always are trying to stick there nose into some top secret things to put in the Beech Road paper. Stuart can just not hold on to the secret of his uncle for much longer so he lets a girl from the triplets called April join the mission. She seems to be rather bossy but he wouldn't have done it without her since he was about 2 heads shorter than her. My favourite bit of the story was when Stuart's Uncle Toni's house was being demolished.

In the story there was a woman who I thought was really horrible; she was called Jeanie. Jeanie's assistant was called Clifford. Clifford was very suspicious but he might not be as suspicious as you think. There was someone called Leonora who was blind so she had a guide dog called Pluto. She was quite good friends with Jeanie at the start of the story but their friendship ended when she found out about uncle Toni's work shop and how and what Jeanie had been doing to find it. Leonora had known Toni's wife that made up a big part of the story.

What made this a really good book was that every chapter ended on a cliffhanger. Me and my dad read this book together and we loved it so much that we are going to write a letter to Lissa Evans saying how much we liked it.
