Fergus had looked at fireworks at a neighbour's bonfire party, and remembered liking the instructions - "light blue touch-paper and stand well back." It was the same with Murdo. To activate him, you just had to put a small idea in his head and then get out of the way as he exploded into action, usually in different directions at the same time. Fergus concluded that 'standing well back' might not be enough in Murdo's case. The warning should probably read "dive for cover."
Fergus can't believe it when his brand-new digital watch starts going backwards. Then he crashes (literally) into gadget-loving Murdo, and a second mystery comes to light: cats are going missing all over the neighbourhood. As the two boys start to investigate, they find help in some unexpected places.

Beautifully written in a clear, accessible style with plenty of direct speech and detailed description, it is an excellent, gripping yarn for anyone over 9 years old.'-- School Librarian, Spring 2006'This delightful, whimsical story will appeal to children of all ages. It is well written without being condescending, and the plot is unusual and quite gripping.'-- Stockbridge and New Town Independent, November 2005'I thought the story was great.
