Operation Gadgetman!

Grade 2

BOOM WHIIZZ! KER-BOOOM!

The whole house shook and the windows rattled violently.


Gadgetman was at it again! Beans was still for only a moment.

She ran out of the bathroom and dashed downstairs, her toothbrush in
her hand.

‘Dad! Dad, what’s going on?’ Beans yelled.

A high-pitched whistle shrieked through the house again. Beans ran into
the kitchen.

BOOOOM WHIZZZ!

‘Eeek!’ Beans threw herself down on the kitchen floor.

Only just in time, too! A small red-and-yellow doobry-whatsit


Whizzed through the open kitchen window and shot over her
head, before veering left to crash into a box of cornflakes.

BOOOOOOM!

Beans shook her head as she got to her feet. Dad could blow
up his workroom if he wanted to – and he often did! – but did he
have to blow up the kitchen as well? Dad’s workroom was at the
bottom of the garden, but there were times when the bottom of
the garden wasn’t far enough away. Beans didn’t mind her dad
being an inventor – much! – but did he have to make so much
noise about it?
