Product Description
Book Description
Tim and Grk are holidaying in the Seychelles, but their unique crime-fighting skills are needed once more in an adrenalin-filled adventure.
Product Description
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.

Format:Paperback
My son aged nine adores these books. The protagonist, Tim, and his canine sidekick, Grk, always become ensnared in some quite serious adult scam - in this story they find themselves on a rich man's island paradise having to rescue a laboratory-full of stolen animals. Tim can often find himself in frightening situations, but these, to my mind, are handled very sensitively. Above all, it's always his quick-witted resourcefulness and courage that win the day - not a magic wand or the arrival of the Cavalry at the 11th hour - and that's empowering to children and one of the many strengths of these books. We enjoy the inventive plotlines, the colourful villains, the vivid settings (each story has a different geographical background), the topicality of each story and the wry, lively writing. We're on Eurostar to Paris now with Grk Takes Revenge and learning all sorts of useful things on the journey. Vive Grk!

Format:Paperback
My son was given this book and having read it earlier in the week has been having nightmares every night and is now afraid to go to sleep. It is certainly not suitable for younger children (he is 7). There are disturbing vivisection-like elements in chapter 33. If you have an, even slightly, sensitive child, give it a miss.

My son, who's 8.5 yo old and an avid reader, couldn't put the book down. He read it in 1 day. He loved it. Back to the library we go for the other editions!
