'I have often wondered what I would be when I grow up, but never, never, never did I expect to be a Kangaroo!'When the wind on the moon blew straight into Dinah and Dorinda's hearts it meant that they couldn't help but behave badly for a whole year. Transformed into kangaroos, they terrorise the sleepy town of Midmeddlecum with glee. But what they didn't count on was being locked in a zoo.

Their poor father! Can they rescue him in time?Includes exclusive material: In the Backstory you can find out what life was like when this book was written and meet some more naughty children!
