About the Children’s Play
Synopsis
A school trip to Paris! What a laugh! – especially when Avril insists on taking her bottle of Tomato Ketchup wherever she goes! But soon Morgan notices some odd goings-on.
Has the bearded man in the black Citroen followed them all the way from England? And why is the strange doctor so interested in Miss Parker, their new French teacher? And on their first night in the hotel, did Jessica really see a ghost?
When they get to the Louvre the action really hots up as Morgan and his mates try desperately to stop thieves stealing the famous “Mona Lisa”.
