Birdy's love of detective stories, her curious nature and adventurous personality result in the formation of BADASS, Buttercup Academy Detective ASSociation.
Together, Birdy and the BADASS gang embark on their first major investigation when their headteacher, Dr Artemis, is suddenly replaced by Wanda Wrinklefinger and her nosey feline.
BADASS search for the truth behind their beloved headteacher's disappearance and discover the white cat is not all that it appears to be.
