Becky Culpepper lives at 34 Rufus Street. You might be surprised to know that is her name, because most people think her name is Becky Brush-your-hair. But no matter how many people tell her, or how often, Becky never brushes her hair. One morning, just as Becky was leaving for school, her mum called, ‘Becky! Brush your hair. Something terrible could happen!’ This is the story of the something terrible that did.
When a new family moves into the property next to the Weston farm, suddenly Jo and her beloved dog Billie have a new best friend and netball buddy, Ava.

Jo and Ava will have to use all their wits to solve the mysteries.

With the help of the animal crew, the twins set off on a wild adventure to save Mum, and maybe even stop 'The Fugitives' from draining the Pacific Ocean. There'll be pirates, blue whales, exploding basketballs, and a whole lot of water. Just as well Poppy and Billy aren't regular kids.
