The Fete Escape

The fete is the biggest event of the Peppercorn Primary school year, and Susan’s parents, who are organising it, can think of nothing else. Susan has been co-opted to look after the school mascot, Pepper the rat, and has found that this year she will be wearing the giant rat suit as well. This doesn’t make her happy. How can she possibly go for a ride on the Twister wearing a giant rat suit? Her efforts to pass the job on to her friend Emily fall apart when Emily turns her ankle while attempting to fly in her Supergirl costume. There’s nothing else for it: for the entire fete Susan will be a rat. Can she survive her ordeal? Will her grandfather win first prize this year for his chocolate cake? Everything falls apart when Susan loses Pepper. Now she’s really in trouble!
