When Tim discovers a man badly hurt on a beach, his sun-kissed relaxing holiday in the Seychelles takes on a more dangerous twist. He and Grk are the only ones, it seems, who want to know what happened. They find themselves speeding towards a well-guarded private island, and single-handedly foiling a dastardly plot threatening the local endangered giant tortoises.
"The humour, narrative voice and absence of magic stuff are a delight." -- Amanda Craig * The Times *
"A cracking read and a good length" -- Nikki Gamble * CHILDREN'S BOOKSELLERS' CHOICE, The Bookseller *
"Grk is a successful modern Snowy to Tim Malt's Tintin." * Books for Keeps *
"This is a novel (and series), which is sure to be popular and certainly deserves to be read." * Write Away *
