Danny Lyndon was having a run of bad luck. He didn't deliberately set out to cause trouble but he suddenly seemed to have become very accident prone. Recently, he had broken a school washbasin, smashed a pile of dinner plates and destroyed a new sapling in the school grounds - so it was the last straw when he accidentally broke the headmaster's window and smashed a Grecian vase! Danny's efforts to make amends lead him into deeper and deeper trouble in this funny and fast moving story.
Inventor Arthur Venger and his young assistants, Kip and Herbie, do battle with the hotheads of this world, and as usual make an alarming mess of things.
In this sequel to The Speckled Panic, Kip and Herbie team up again with Arthur Venger, the inventor, in an attempt to solve Grumpton's litter problem, but their plan goes hilariously awry.
