When twelve year old skateboard champ Bella Street's mother leaves her for the summer with the female head of the largest criminal gang on the East Coast Bella knows it's going to mean trouble – lots of trouble. Doc Gutson, the most ruthless and vengeful mobster in New York City and her band of misfit goons, Johnny Sequins and Pauly Three Toes, are out to steal a top secret formula which will make them millions! It's up to Bella and her friend, tech-genius and wannabe detective Felix Samson, to outwit and outrun the Doc and her henchmen in adventures that take them from Manhattan to London and finally to Australia. Bella and Felix have to find the answers to two questions: what exactly is Excalibur and who, if anyone, can they trust?
The Complete Bella Street trilogy includes: The Secret Formula, Doc Gutson's Revenge and The Fat Lady Sings
The best book I've ever read – I LOVED it and wish it were a movie – VERY suspenseful. Jolie Wilson aged 12 If you are after a great good guy versus bad guy story with mystery, a bit of crazy science, goons, brave and clued up kids and a whole lot of trouble you will not be disappointed!
