Unfortunately, the spoon has a wicked sense of humour and none of the wishes turn out to be quite what the children are expecting.This is the Sequel to A Present from Aunt Agatha but can be read as a stand alone story.

      ‘Ryan, Andy! Thank goodness you’re back!’ shrieked Tracey, as her brother and his friend came in the front door.

      ‘Who’d have sisters!’ said Ryan with loathing, as Tracey jumped around in front of him excitedly. Andy gave him a sympathetic look as Ryan frowned at Tracey. ‘Don’t get your knickers in a knot. What is it? What’s happened now?’ he asked in resignation.

      ‘I found that spoon I was looking for, the one Aunt Agatha gave me for a birthday present. You won’t believe what it’s done! Come and see.’ Tracey tossed her hair out of her eyes and beckoned to the boys.

      Ryan and Andy stopped and looked at Tracey in astonishment.

      ‘What spoon?’ asked Andy blankly.

      ‘What did the spoon do?’ Ryan demanded. ‘Is it magic? I know we thought Aunt Agatha must be a witch because she’s so peculiar, but how could a spoon do anything?’ They followed Tracey to her room where she opened the door and gestured dramatically.

      ‘Look at that!’

      Ryan and Andy stepped inside the bedroom. It looked as if a tornado had struck. All the posters on the walls were torn down and hanging in strips. The bed was covered with a jumble of shoes, books and ornaments, while the sheets were lying in a heap on the floor. A jar of hair conditioner lay spilled across a pair of jeans which was wedged at the top of the window, and the dressing table lay drunkenly on its side surrounded by a scattering of crumpled tissues and battered exercise books.

      ‘Wow, that’s even messier than my room,’ said Andy.

      Ryan frowned. ‘Why did you mess your room up?’ he asked in bewilderment. ‘And what has the spoon got to do with it?’

      ‘I didn’t mess my room up, you stupid boy,’ snapped Tracey. ‘It was the spoon. I think it must be magic.’

      ‘How the heck did it happen?’

      Tracey looked shamefaced. ‘I’m not sure,’ she confessed. ‘I know Aunt Agatha gave you a pen (A Present from Aunt Agatha)which made things come true when you wrote with it, so I figured the spoon would be the same.’

      ‘You can’t write with a spoon,’ argued Andy, who had fished a comic out of Tracey’s underwear drawer and was sitting on the floor reading it.

      ‘I know that,’ howled Tracey. ‘I’m not a total moron. I tried to use it like a spoon. I stirred a cup of coffee with it and made a wish. Then I licked honey off it and made a wish. I even washed it and dried it and polished it and made a wish, but nothing happened.’

      ‘What were you wishing for?’ asked Ryan with interest. Tracey suddenly looked embarrassed.

      ‘Nothing much,’ she mumbled. ‘Anyway, that’s not important.’

      ‘You must have wished for your room to be in a mess,’ Ryan pointed out.

      ‘I didn’t,’ said Tracey through gritted teeth, holding onto her temper with an obvious effort. ‘Like I said, nothing happened. Then I got so mad that I banged the spoon on the wall and said that I wished something would happen. And it did. The room messed up like this.’

      ‘How long did it take,’ Andy asked her.

      Tracey shrugged. ‘It all happened in a split second. One minute I was sitting on the bed and the room was tidy and the next minute I was lying in a heap of stuff and it was totally messed up.’

      ‘That must be how it works then,’ exclaimed Ryan. ‘Hitting the spoon on something. Have you tried hitting it again and wishing things back the way they were?’

      ‘Oh what a good idea. Why didn’t I think of that?’ said Tracey sarcastically. ‘Of course I thought of that, I’m not entirely stupid, you know. The problem is that the spoon has gone.’

      ‘Gone where?’

      ‘If I knew that I would have found it,’ Tracey ground out. ‘I guess it’s in the middle of all this mess somewhere. I thought you could help me find it.’

      ‘We’re not tidying your mess,’ said Ryan indignantly. ‘We’re going to play with my electronics set.’

      ‘That’s right,’ agreed Andy hastily.

      ‘If we find the spoon I’ll let you have a wish each,’ offered Tracey. ‘So, are you going to help me or not?’ The boys thought about this. The chance of making a wish for whatever they wanted was too good to turn down.

      ‘Oh, okay,’ muttered Ryan.
