Rip runner

the long version

Things have been pretty quiet in Peasley since Michael (the Greek) and Minou (the Geek) uncovered the identity of the Pimpernel (Blake) and exposed their devious headmaster Sir Pent. But then Michael has a chance of qualifying for the Junior Olympics, Blake's father's running shoe factories suffer a series of mysterious break-ins, and Sir Pent is inexplicably released from prison. A mystery caper about running, immigration, bullies, and a latter day Scarlet Pimpernel. Suggested level: primary, intermediate.
