The Fun Factor Mat Waugh

Have you ever had the feeling you're being watched?

In a remote village, the stuff everyone loves is disappearing by the day.

First to go is the internet. Then gadgets, phones, pizzas, TV channels and even dishwashers... and the weirdest thing is that none of the grown-ups seem to mind.

Twelve-year-old Thora and her friends struggle to see what's so fun about the good old days. Her moody big sister is up to no good, her brother isn't helping and there's a man with a TV camera at the front door.

And why is everyone - from Frosty the headmaster to Dad's new girlfriend - so concerned about the children's wellbeing?

Determined to put the fun back, Thora is about to discover that they're guinea pigs in a decidedly high-tech showbiz experiment. But can Thora and her unlikely gang blow open a nationwide conspiracy?

The Fun Factor is a mystery adventure that will keep kids aged 8+ laughing and guessing all the way to the explosive show-down.
