Tuckshop Terrors

At his new school, Kip can't get to the irresistible food at the canteen without defying his parents, ditching his friend Lucille, making enemies and drawing attention from the weird headmaster. While that delicious junk food seems always out of reach, Kip discovers there's something more sinister than the saturated fats. There's a scheme emerging that's going to affect everyone, forever. Through a series of mysterious events, Kip and his new friends figure out that there's a connection between the food corporation next door to the school, and the spate of crime washing through their town. When Kip and Lucille are the only ones left, his suspicions are turned upside-down, as he discovers being the odd-one-out can be the key to survival.
