Clementine Rose is off to the seaside! She makes a new friend as soon as she arrives: Freddy, who takes her exploring in the beach caves, where they discover an exciting, wonderful secret. But then Clemmie's tiny teacup pig, Lavender, escapes during a storm - and it's all hands on deck to bring her home safe and sound.

When an earthquake causes a breach at a super-secret Pharos prison, Kensy and Max must join an urgent assignment to Queenstown, New Zealand. Time is of the essence - the escaped prisoners are two highly dangerous men out for revenge against both Pharos and the Spencer family. The twins head into the wilderness in pursuit. But the mountains are dangerous, and instability brought on by the earthquake is only making things worse. Meanwhile, strange things are happening back in London as one Pharos agent is attacked and another disappears. It will take all of Kensy and Max's hard-earned skills to come out of this mission alive - but what will be waiting for them when they do?

After a tumultuous school term, a family holiday with sunshine, sleep-ins and Portuguese tarts is just what Kensy and Max need. And Granny Cordelia is adamant- there are to be no investigations while on vacation. But when strange incidents start piling up, the twins are torn between their loyalty and their nose for adventure. As all leads point to the annual E-Prix championship, Kensy and Max find themselves drawn into the middle of a menacing plot. High-powered sports cars are not the only dangers on the streets of Sintra. Someone wants Wolf Motors and the Formula E car race to go up in smoke, and they won't let anything - or anyone - get in their way.

But amid the excitement, Uncle Digby falls ill, an invitation goes astray and, to everyone's horror, mean Aunt Violet is left in charge . . . The beautifully wrapped wedding gifts give Clementine a great idea, but will she find the perfect present in time?

Her ballet lessons have finally begun, and Clementine's class has been invited to dance at the village hall. There's lots to learn, and Clemmie is eager to get onstage and twirl with her friends! But on the day of the big ballet performance, disaster strikes! Will Clementine find a way for the show to go on?
