Synopsis

No one knows the full story of Charlie Small. At least, not yet. His original battered journal was found washed up on a remote, windswept shore in the north of England. Now, a third instalment has been tracked down and salvaged from beneath the seat of a bus shelter in Pimlico. Having finally escaped from the perfidious pirates, Charlie travels through icy waters and hair-raising mountains and encounters man-eating bats, a wolf whose bark is worse than his bite, and ultimately finds himself ensnared by the evil Puppet Master, a figure of pure unadulterated evil. Will Charlie manage to escape his clutches, or will he remain a puppet for ever, never to adventure again?

Editorial Reviews

"Buccaneering boys' books to grip the most reluctant reader" - Daily Telegraph

"...should prove irresistible to readers of seven and upward" - Becky Stradwick, The Bookseller

"My seven year old couldn't put it down" - Rachel Ayers Nelson, School Librarian

"The two volumes - with clear potential for more -have cracked the difficult territory of writing adventure that maintains pace.This is achieved by packing in imaginative scenarios and exciting set-piece scenes. Charlie's scrapes and escapes are mapped step by step, like a good action stunt, with a balance of detail and pace. Production quality is also excellent" - TES
