Dexter Procter and the Case of the Disappearing Doctor


Overview

The side-splitting sequel to Adam Kay's debut, No. 1 bestselling children's novel Dexter Procter the Ten-Year-Old Doctor, illustrated by Henry Paker. Dexter Procter, the world's youngest-ever doctor, is back for a follow-up medical mystery! All is not well in Dexter's world. His granny has broken her leg, his friends Rupi and Otto have been expelled from school, there's a strange asthma epidemic he can't get on top of, and slimy politician Barbara Burnhall is trying to shut down everything fun at the hospital. And then his boss, Dr Marigold, goes missing! What Dexter doesn't realize is that he and his friends are about to uncover a dastardly plot involving kidnappings, earthquakes and a demolition ball. He doesn't know what's about to hit him... (Spoiler alert- it's a demolition ball.) Adam Kay and Henry Paker have created a second Dexter Procter mystery that is funnier and even more disgusting than the No. 1 bestselling Dexter Procter the 10-Year-Old Doctor. (And that was pretty disgusting.) Dexter Procter and the Case of the Disappearing Doctor is soon to be a major BBC show.
