      "Agatha Parrot is just trying to watch her favourite TV show, 'SING, WIGGLE and SHINE' (the worst talent show ever), when her absolutely evil brother James swipes the remote so he can watch football instead. Of course, there's a row and the remote goes missing and no one can watch anything. But after a giant yellow cake, a school fête and a fairy birthday party down the street that turns James into a giant mushroom (sort of), Agatha gets her revenge."--Publisher information
