Third instalment of the fast-paced middle-grade adventure series, following adventurologist Pearly Woe!
Pearly Woe is a worrier.
On remote Mammt Island off the coast of Iceland, Pearlys worrying is put to the ultimate test when she and Pig are winched from a helicopter onto the island to complete a five-day survival challenge alone.
But they are not alone. And that is not the only surprise in store for Pearly and Pig as Mammt Island reveals its many secrets.
