Meet a not-yet-six-year-old superhero; a demonic dinner lady; a runaway spy- cat; a giant spider on the rampage and a busted bank robber. Hurtle through tempestuous tsunamis and violent volcanos; sea voyages and mountain expeditions; a supernatural science trip; animal adventures; magical quests and secret portals...
Legendary beasts and mythological monsters: a Quadropythonus, a Kraken and a Colosollus to name but a few; a shipwrecked rabble of pirates; a seventeenth- century tennis-playing ghost; a witch whose pungent feet are more evil than her spells; and a boy left alone in the future with just his malfunctioning mechanical tortoise for company...

Four stories in one!I have a twin brother. Everyone calls him Jimmy, which is sort of the English verison of Dimitri, his actual Greek name. Our mum's Greek, you see.I'm Cally, short for Calista, which means, I don't want to sound big-headed or anything, but it means 'most beautiful'. I'm not sure about Dimitri, but if Dimitri means most-annoying-brother-in-the-whole-wide-world, then that's him.Join Cally and Jimmy in four hilarious stories! They get into scrapes together, bake some poisonous cakes, almost ruin their school assembly and finally have a twintastic birthday party.
