Description
Tan is cool, courageous and clever. But she's in for a shock!
TAN IS COOL, COURAGEOUS AND CLEVER. BUT SHE'S IN FOR A SHOCK!
Dear Diary
I am writing to you with the aid of my Ballerina Panda pen. You know, the one that makes your words dance across the page. Guess who is number one on my Secret Spy Watch List? Go on. Guess! It's Miss Dragone. Miss Dragone has always been an ordinary, boring, Grade Four teacher with no surprises and a loud voice. But not anymore. These days she is acting weird, strange and highly suspicious. I've been watching her very closely. Conclusion: Miss Dragone is in danger. I just know it!
