Edie Amelia And The Runcible River Fever - Plot & Excerpts
It was a fine, still morning and life had recently settled back to normal after Edie had solved an exciting puzzle involving a missing red monkey shoe, fortune cookies and a lot of notes on purple paper. She doodled in her notebook, counting idly as she watched over the town. Two seagulls fighting over a crust, one cat climbing a fence . . . Within a few minutes Edie had counted six of Runcible’s townsfolk hurrying past wearing brightly coloured jumpsuits. Their clothing was not what brought them to Edie’s attention—these jumpsuits were all the rage in Runcible and everyone was wearing them. What caught Edie’s eye was that all of them were coughing. Edie jotted down the time and a brief outline of this event in her notebook before popping it back into the detective kit in her satchel. (On an ordinary day her detective kit would probably contain binoculars, duct tape, a Swiss army knife, a magnifying glass, tweezers, evidence bags and a collection of pencils and pens.) With a small frown creasing her forehead, she swivelled around to check on things at home.
