« Je m’appelle Ted Spark. J’ai douze ans et 281 jours. J’ai sept amis. Il y a trois ans, j’ai élucidé le mystère de la disparition de mon cousin Salim d’une cabine du London Eye. Mais voici l’histoire de mon second mystère. Cet été, je suis parti en vacances à New York pour rendre visite à Salim et Tante Gloria. Durant mon séjour, une peinture a été volée dans le Musée Guggenheim, où travaille ma tante. Celle-ci a été accusée. Mais on ne touche pas à ma famille… Il m’a donc fallu retrouver le véritable voleur. ». Couverture souple.

My name is Ted Spark. I am 12 years and 281 days old. I have seven friends. Three months ago, I solved the mystery of how my cousin Salim disappeared from a pod on the London Eye. This is the story of my second mystery. This summer, I went on holiday to New York, to visit Aunt Gloria and Salim. While I was there, a painting was stolen from the Guggenheim Museum, where Aunt Gloria works. Everyone was very worried and upset. I did not see what the problem was. I do not see the point of paintings, even if they are worth £9.8 million. Perhaps that's because of my very unusual brain, which works on a different operating system to everyone else's. But then Aunt Gloria was blamed for the theft - and Aunt Gloria is family. And I realised just how important it was to find the painting, and discover who really had taken it.
