While they're visiting the pyramids and palm trees they fine strange things happing. They make a new friend who has something to hide. Alice-Miranda and her friends wonder why. There are strange goings on, well strange to them that just don't quite seem right. The adults stories just don't add up, they maybe young but they know when somethings fishy.
