Twins Wayne and Wendy have two extraordinary friends – an ice-cream van called Macaroni, and a goat called Gina. Then one day they both disappear! Who would steal a bashed-up ice-cream van, and a very naughty goat? Does someone know that Macaroni is actually magical?
Hot on the trail of their missing friends, the twins meet Pa Periwinkle – a famous apothecary who once owned Macaroni. The twins need help! Luckily Pa and his magic Fizzbomb Sherbet are soon exploding into action...

Julie Bertagna has had remarkable success in her short writing career. She won a Scottish Arts Council bursary for her first novel THE SPARK GAP, SOUNDTRACK won the SAC’s Children’s Book Award. DOLPHIN BOY was shortlisted for the NASEN and Blue Peter Awards. EXODUS, the launch title for Young Picador and her first novel for Macmillan, was shortlisted for the Whitbread Children’s Book of the Year Award and won the Lancashire Children’s Book of the Year Award.
THE OPPOSITE OF CHOCOLATE has been shortlisted for the Book Trust Teenage Prize 2004.
One might think that the meaning of the word "nemesis" is far beyond a young person. Not so in Julia Bertagna's zany escapade featuring a goat, a lost ice cream truck imbued with magical powers that date back to the time of the Incas, and the two families that claim ownership. Along the way, more than one character receives the fate he or she deserves. Sophie Aldred's energy is hard to beat. Her enthusiasm for the eccentric story abounds, topped only by her characterization of the ancient and incorrigible Pa Periwinkle and the flabbergasted and imperious Mrs. Snark. Aldred's lively tempo is in good keeping with the fun. Listen in as potions are concocted, and the fizzbomb sherbet explodes.
