The Blade Brief
Katie is in trouble with the adults in her life. More trouble than she has ever been in before.
Mosquito Advertising is taking up all her time and school seems boring and irrelevant. Who needs school when you’re running your own advertising agency? Katie promises she'll lift her game but things get complicated when Barry Sharp, billionaire owner of international airline Blade Air, offers Mosquito Advertising his account. Katie and her friends are flown to Sydney where everything seems too good to be true.
How can Katie keep such big news a secret from her mum? And what will she do when a local dog food company needs their help? Mosquito Advertising starts to crack under the strain as business gets in the way of friendship. Katie needs to work out what really matters if she is to save both.

An exciting new series of middle-reader adventures – meet this modern neighbourhood gang with all the charm of the Famous Five.
Brisbane-dwelling teenager Katie Crisp has talent, it's just that the report card hidden in her room doesn't show it. School's out for another year and Katie is set to spend the summer lazing under the sausage tree in the backyard of the only home she's ever known. So, when she discovers that Parfitt's Family Soft Drink Company is about to be taken over by a corporate giant, leaving her mum out of a job and them both out of a home, Katie decides it's time to finally show everyone what she's made of.
With her nose for trouble and her eye for advertising, and a little help from some neighbourhood friends, Katie declares Mosquito Advertising open for business. Pocket money and creative thinking can stretch a long way when everything that means anything to you is about to be destroyed.
