Charlie #5: Charlie and the Cheese and Onion Crisps

Poor Charlie has given up his favourite thing – cheese and onion crisps. They smell awful but they taste better than anything, and since he stopped eating them Charlie’s just not been himself. The trouble is that Charlie has fallen for a girl, and trying to catch a girl with cheese-and-onion breath is always a BIG mistake! But when the only thing that can cheer Charlie up is the Truly Amazing Smarties Trick, watch out! There’s trouble about!
