}}

Problems are afoot in Tuptown, leading up the annual Butterfly Ball – bit by bit the whole thing is being stolen. Harold has made a special statue for the occasion, but has awoken to find it missing, the berries for the catering have vanished – and someone's even run off with the butterflies. It's up to our heroes Harold (the hamster) and Pigsticks (the, er, pig) to don their stereotypical detective outfits and save the day.

Give a couple of years, and the same readers will be finding pleasures in the slightly oddball [[The Mousehunter by Alex Milway|Mousehunter trilogy]] by the same author. Before then they will love [[Wolfman by Michael Rosen and Chris Mould]].
