About this ebook
Claudia Smith is still stuck living at a retirement village with her grandma and pop while her parents are off on a once-in-a-lifetime cruise. In fact, she's been there so long now she's starting to sound like an old person.
But just when Claudia thinks life at the village is getting boring, precious jewellery starts going missing, and Claudia and her new (sometimes annoying) best friend, Orphi, decide to investigate.
There are just a few problems ...
Their only suspects are oldies with terrible memories. Their sort-of frenemies, Yasmin and Zayn, are being forced to help. And there's not a single clue in sight.
