Marmaduke by Margaret Pearce

Billy Pitt didn't mean to cause trouble. He just wanted to fix his bike and finish his paper round.

But when he and his best friend Rusty stumble across a mysterious grey metal box at the local tip, curiosity gets the better of them, and Billy's beloved pet mouse, Marmaduke, ends up right in the middle of it.

One slippery accident later, something strange begins to happen. Very strange.

Now the neighbourhood is in an uproar. Television crews are arriving. Adults are arming themselves with shovels, brooms and sticks. And somewhere out there, Marmaduke is in serious danger.

With time running out and chaos closing in, Billy and Rusty must think fast, act brave, and pull off the cleverest plan of their lives, before someone discovers what really happened.

A rollicking middle-grade adventure full of humour, heart, and one very unusual mouse.
