Description

Charlie Ellis lives next door to Angela Mitchell and once described her in a school essay as 'My best fiend'. Angela is forever having marvellous ideas but they often spell disaster, especially for Charlie who always seems to get involved. Living next door to Angela is one thing; having to share a holiday with her is quite another. Angela promises not to get Charlie into any trouble but things get off to a bad start when she dyes Charlie's hair - with of course disastrous results.
