Originally published in 2018, this new full colour edition comes with an extra bonus story!

Sally Tinker – the world’s foremost inventor under the age of twelve – has developed her greatest invention yet. But when Sally’s baby brother Joe swallows it with disastrous (and gaseous) consequences, Sally and her friend Charli must shrink themselves, venture into the very bowels of Joe, and shut down the invention before it’s too late. What could possibly go wrong?

In the bonus story Get Kraken, Sally’s best friend Charli takes the lead in an underwater adventure to find the mysterious deep sea Kraken! Youtube superstar Rex Vancouver is also on the hunt, but wants to turn the monster into the world’s most expensive calamari. Can Charli and the team find the Kraken first, and keep it out of Rex’s clutches?
