An entertaining mystery ideal for teenagers and older children. Poppy Fields is not really keen on acting - but when the opportunity comes to audition for parts in a performance of The Wizard of Oz at her local theatre, she willingly takes part. After all, it does mean time off school.
Much to her amazement, she and her side kick Graham are given parts (albeit the roles of Orange Marigold and Pink Petunia!). Then the real drama started - the arrival of the star player resulted in a dramatic death threat pinned to the door. This was soon followed by murder on stage.
Poppy and Graham begin to investigate only to find that soon they are top of the murderer's hit list. The hunter has become the hunted. An entertaining lively story which will appeal to anyone who enjoys a good read.
Poppy and Graham are amusing characters, well thought out and really live on the pages of the story.
