Someone is threatening to destroy Britain’s
Biggest New Star, the country’s favourite TV talent
show.
The secret service decides to send in two young spies,
twins Harry and Abby, to investigate. Their ticket
backstage is their father, washed up comedian Gus, who believes
the contest is his chance to revive his career.


The list of suspects is long, and the twins don’t know whom
to trust. But they better track down the culprit soon, before disaster
strikes the show – and
its royal guest!





A fast-paced spy caper packed with laughs and
surprising twists,
from comedy writer Ivor Baddiel –
someone who really knows backstage life on Britain’s
favourite talent shows!
