      Chapter 1

      Hannah, we need some ideas here, announced Ella as she plumped down in the sofa across from where Hannah was curled up in the armchair with a book.

      There’s a problem? asked Hannah.

      It’s Joe, said Ella, waving at Joe, who had followed her in and was investigating the tropical fish tank.
