Rosie has a paper boat and a plan: sail it in Willowwick fountain. Then a noisy video appears. An enormous duck! Right there in the square! Suddenly, going outside doesn’t seem such a good idea. Mum sits beside her, and together they take another look. What has the little screen left out? A funny village mystery with a helpful pause and a much bigger picture.

A little moment to read together.

The Hartwells made boats at the table that day. "The fountain!" cried Toby. "Let's sail them away!" Mum found them a film. They could pause it and see just where the next fold and the corner should be. Dad's boat was lopsided. He tried it once more. Pickle sniffed Rosie's, then searched round the floor.
