A smudge on a prefect badge puts pint-sized private eye Fletcher "Half" Moon and his detecting sidekick, Red, on the trail of criminal activity in an unlikely quarter, as the comedy-drama based on Artemis Fowl author Eoin Colfer's best-selling book continues.
It's a proud day for Moon's sister, Hazel, as she is sworn in as a junior prefect. More importantly, she'll now find it much easier to make sure that she is noticed by head boy – and school heart-throb – Nigel.
For Moon, a new investigation beckons as a mysterious note appears on his locker. It has a prefect's badge pinned to it, and is inscribed with the words "stop them". Closer examination reveals clues which suggest an illicit activity linked to Pupil Enterprise Week – but what?
While Red's brother, Herod, does a surprisingly roaring trade on his cake stall, the object of Hazel's affection, squeaky clean Nigel, soon has the finger of suspicion pointed at him over secrets from his past.
Detecting is everything to Moon. In search of the truth, he is willing to battle for the kids who can't fight for themselves – which is not always easy in the jungle that is the playground, where enemies lurk around every corner. But while Moon sticks to the rules, his crime-busting partner, Red, knows how to bend them.
Fletcher "Half" Moon is played by Rory Elrick, Red by Sebastian Charles, Hazel by Robyn Milne, Nigel by Ashley Lloyd and Herod by Marcus Nash.

All the children at St Hope's School are mysteriously turning into Japanese fighting fish, in this week's episode of the exciting secret agent series. The trusted teen spies need to find out how this happened, whilst keeping an eye out for a SKUL (Secret Kriminal Underground League) agent.
The M.I. High agents are protecting Dr Wallis, the inventor of The Mind Machine – a device that turns bad people good. However, the evil Grand Master has got wind of the device and wants to use it to turn good people bad, and sends a SKUL agent to capture Dr Wallis and his invention.
Ofsted, meanwhile, springs a last-minute inspection on St Hope's and Oscar worries that if the school closes there will be no more M.I. High. When Mr Richter, the inspector, arrives, Rose immediately becomes suspicious. Thinking he's the SKUL agent, she insists on accompanying him on the inspection.
When Mr Flatley and the kids start turning into Japanese fighting fish, it seems that someone has got to The Mind Machine and started to turn good people bad. But, as the machine is under Frank's watchful eye at HQ, they begin to wonder if the SKUL agent is somehow managing to operate it remotely. They must race against time to discover the agent and reverse the effects of The Mind Machine before St Hope's is closed down for ever.
The real Dr Wallis is played by Paul Shearer, the fake Dr Wallis by Simon Meacock, the Grand Master by Julian Bleach, Oscar by Ben Kerfoot, Mr Richter by Edward Halsted, Rose by Rachel Petladwala, Mr Flatley by Chris Stanton and Frank by Jonny Freeman.
