Ned and his family are trying to be ordinary except for the small fact that they AREN'T. AT ALL. Because on the run up to Christmas everything is ruined when all the world's gold goes missing, along with its leading scientists. Which doesn't really have anything to do with Ned-- until it does. When an oily thief and his pet monster turn up at Ned's door, Ned finds himself on the run again-- and racing to find out what this new villain wants. --
