Dara longs to have a best friend, someone she can hang out with. But it seems like Josh, her new assignment partner, will land her in popularity purgatory.
At least their assignment topic is perfect — Ned Kelly’s death mask. Now, Dara can drop words like ‘pseudomedicine’ and ‘phrenological analysis’ into casual conversation. When ‘Ned’s head’ is stolen, Josh is convinced the culprit is their new art teacher, Ms Isoba. As Josh hunts for clues to prove his theory, he discovers that Ms Isoba isn’t the only person with a secret. What’s Dara hiding? And will it impact her dreams of popularity? |

"The urge to answer that my dietary requirements include extra salt itches to come out of my mouth. It’s never good to brag. I swallow my words instead. What I need is a change of subject. My stomach grumbles in agreement. ‘Shh! Stop it with the wamblecropt,’ I whisper. I’d share wamblecroft with the girls, but I don’t think they like my words. Especially after what happened with scurryfunge." |
