About the book

Secret Seven Fireworks, is mainly about with the battle of wits between the Seven and Susie's new club, the Tiresome Three. There is the investigation of a burglary as well, but the S.S. allow themselves to be distracted by the T.T. so much that Susie is not filler in this story, but a main part of it.
