About

Life for siblings Amelia and Kai Delaney is pretty quiet in boring Woodspring…until their glamorous con-artist grandmother Queenie, mysteriously appears on their doorstep. Before long, she introduces them to the ‘Ten Con-mandments’ — her personal playbook of mischief, mayhem and the art of the grift.

Queenie’s arrival sparks a hunt for Woodspring’s greatest mystery: the missing Woodspring Nug, a priceless meteorite stolen nearly 30 years ago by Queenie’s infamous Kangaroo Gang, then somehow lost. With a $100,000 reward on offer, the race to find it is on!

Amelia and Kai recruit thespian extraordinaire Penelope and gentle giant Ophelbert to form their own gang, ‘the Joeys’. Together they must outsmart Queenie’s old crew and Amelia’s all-powerful nemesis, Emilia Katinkatonk.

But as the search for the Nug heats up, the Joeys and Queenie discover the real treasure might just be family and bringing down the Katinkatonk dynasty once and for all.
