Bored by the inactivity of the Norfolk town where they now live, city children Barny and Sue find occupation in renovating the old railway station. But who breaks in to destroy their efforts, littering the booking office with half-eaten food and upturning the furniture? Resolving the mystery involves making friends and gaining a different attitude to life in a country town. Satisfying reading for children who need encouragement to finish whole books. 'There is', said a young tester, 'always something happening.'
