The animals have a special celebration around midwinter, which remembers a mouse called Chris, and his friend old father Squirrel who saved the animals one very cold winter by bringing sacks of cheese and nuts. Felix is invited to a Chris-Mouse party at the Akita-Shibu Plaza. Everyone is just trying to have fun, but Hans the rat has other ideas as his gang attempts to rob the bank. This is a work of fiction, however, to claim that none of the characters are based on real people would mean ignoring the fact that Olli the Owl is closely based on the author of the book. As for any similarity between this story and a certain cult Christmas movie? Well that's just gratuitous isn't it? Having said that, it is quite an achievement, to write a spoof of an 18 rated movie without uttering a single cuss word, or actually killing any of the characters. Not even the bad guys! Mums and dads may well giggle even more than their kids. Well, that's the plan anyway.

The third in the Felix Whiter, Animal Intelligence Services series is partly inspired by the James Bond movie "You Only Live Twice" which is why most of the story takes place in Japan. But as usual all sorts of other idiotic ideas cropped up and the story began to twist about and turn into a spoof of the worst (some might say best) martial arts movies, as well as having as many references to video games as could be squeezed in. The only reason there isn't a car chase in which a turtle shell is used to destroy another car is because I just couldn't find a way to include it without completely rewriting the story. There are several references to Japanese culture for which I can only apologise to any Japanese people reading this. I did however resist the temptation to include anything educational, in the tradition of the Felix Whiter stories this book is devoid of any useful moral or educational lessons. No need to thank me.

Normal is subjective. For military brat Winston Yates, it is normal to find himself changing schools, even if it is his senior year. It is however not normal that his first day at his new school Rhodes Academy starts off with a bang – literally. One never expects the emergency showers in chem lab actually to be used. Of course, an exploding lab is just the start for Winston. He goes from being blamed for the explosion to being dragged into an investigation of what caused it by the overly brilliant Sharon Holmes, who shares the same brilliance and deductive reasoning methods as the famous detective whose last name she shares. Mystery and intrigue is the last thing Winston needed in his life.The investigation continues, and Winston and Sharon find that the explosion was an attempted murder before bearing witness to two additional attempts on the lives of fellow students. Can they discover the truth before the murderer finds success? The connections seem thin, and the suspect list is long, which happens to include Winston’s new-found girlfriend, Monica. How do you date someone that you might suspect of attempted murder?
