45&46+Stella+Street

Summary
Henni and her buddies turn detective to uncover a world-wide money laundering scheme. Mayhem erupts in Stella street when a man and a woman, nicknamed 'the phonies', move into No 45. Strange visitors, prolonged absences and suspicious 'rubbish' lead the neighbourhood children to suspect that Stella Street is harbouring criminals. Written on a borrowed computer by Henni, the story rollicks along at an alarming pace, creating an atmosphere of community camaraderie and giving the reader an insight into satisfying family relationships and friendships. Embellished with appropriate sketches, the story is full of humour, adventure and fun.
