    Lexie Moon built her latest invention, the Vocabuliser, to help people—including her little sister—learn to say tricky words, like spaghetti and Worcestershire. She plans to enter it into this year’s invention competition, and secretly tests it on her family. But the device is stolen by infamous gadget thief, Gizmo Lightfinger, who sees other people’s inventions as his ticket to glory. Lexie and her Grandad must find the inventions before there is more chaos. A fun adventure mystery with lots of made-up words and inventions.
