They were coming back! Did they suspect? They must. Just by looking at her, anyone would know she had something to hide... Eleven-year-old Bella has a terrible guilty secret: something she did three years ago, when her English relatives were visiting. Now, in the last week in December, they were returning to Australia and Bella fears the worst - that they are coming to confront her; that they suspected her all along. But lots of things during this accident-prone holiday surprise Bella - families work in strange ways, and unexpected things do happen...
