The Strange Affair of Adelaide Harris by Leon Garfield
Harris and Bostock are best friends, but they are as different from one another as night and day. Harris thinks up harebrained schemes and Bostock gets in trouble for them. When Harris puts his baby sister Adelaide in the words to see if she will be adopted by a fox, little do they realize that they are starting a chain of events that will be remembered in their little seaside town as the Strange Affair of Adelaide Harris.
Garfield with his tongue in cheek is as adept as ever * Kirkus Reviews *
