Rita may be a baby but she has the mind (and attitude) of a teenager. Though new to walking she's as wise-crackingly clever as anyone in Key Stage 3. She knows she is not a normal toddler - and when her parents disappear and a sinister clown and an ice-cream van seem to be hunting her down even a soft-play centre might not be safe . . .It will take all Rita's cunning and resourcefulness - as well as a cat flap a mobility scooter and a reluctant teenage sidekick - to defeat an evil conspiracy and a crazy genius villain.
