Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Trouble on the Arctic tundra!

Friday Barnes 10: Undercover follows the daring adventures of Friday Barnes who is definitely not running away. True, she boarded a train to Norway without letting anyone know her whereabouts, but she had an essential mission to assist Binky, who may or may not have been attacked by a polar bear. Now at risk of facing a court martial for dereliction of duty, Binky requires Friday's help, prompting her to leave everything behind and travel 3000 kilometres to crack the case.

The task conveniently doubles as a means to distance herself from her feelings for Ian Wainscott, merely a happy coincidence. Upon her arrival in Oslo, Friday faces a slew of mysteries waiting to be unravelled. Is someone endeavouring to intervene between Binky and Princess Ingrid? How can a painting vanish from a museum when all exits are securely sealed? And, will Melanie manage to convince Friday to attend the royal ball sans her characteristic brown cardigan?

If Friday survives the hazardous journey to the isolated Global Seed Vault, her audience just might discover the answers.

About the Author

R.A. Spratt was born in the UK and lived in Dursley, Gloucestershire - a town immortalised by Harry Potter's deeply unpleasant relatives - until she was two years old. Then, like many ambitious English people cursed with regional accents so strong no other British person can take them seriously, her family moved to Australia. The tedium of growing up in the western suburbs of Sydney was fertiliser to the growth of R.A.'s imagination. The only thing for a kid to do was get on a bicycle and go to the library, so R.A. Spratt did just that. Once there, she read everything, devouring the books of Arthur Ransome, Enid Blyton, Roald Dahl, Robin Klein and Judy Blume, and audiotapes of Shakespeare productions and Sherlock Holmes dramatisations. And so, her young mind was formed, and set on the path of becoming the extraordinary author she is today. Now based in Bowral NSW, she's the bestselling writer of dozens of absurd and witty books including Friday Barnes, The Adventures of Nanny Piggins, The Peski Kids and the Shockingly and Astonishingly Good Stories collections. Her podcast, Bedtime Stories with R.A. Spratt, has had over 4 million downloads and connects R.A. with story-lovers across the globe. For more information, visit raspratt.com
