The Icicle Illuminarium
Kick, Bert, Scruff and Pin are rejoicing – Dad's been found! But he's ill from his wartime experiences, and he's sent away to recover. Then a hint from the butler sets their hearts racing. Could their mother still be alive too?
The four siblings begin a wild goose chase to search for clues. But it all goes terribly, horribly wrong when they're kidnapped. They're imprisoned in The Icicle Illuminarium – the coldest, loneliest and most falling-down mansion in England.
Luckily, there might be a secret friend or two to be found in this odd place. Can Bucket, their loyal dingo dog, help Uncle Basti to find them – before Lady Adora can set her plans in motion?

The Caddy Kids are four wilful children from outback Australia. When their father, an heroic adventurer, goes missing, the authorities ship the kids off to London. Here they are hurled into the weird home of their uncle Basti, the Kensington Reptilarium, home to hundreds of snakes. Uncle Basti is none too pleased by the intrusion of his grubby relatives. But, thanks to the snakes, he is facing the outrage of his neighbours and the Caddy Kids turn out to be resourceful allies.
