Product Description

Product Description
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. And at first we thought it an elaborate hoax. Surely no eight-year-old could have had so many wild adventures, witnessed so many extraordinary things, lived such an incredible life - and still only be eight. And yet ...there was something so vivid in the telling, that we were persuaded, just enough, to send the journal and some of its boggling content for analysis. The results were absolutely astonishing. And only one conclusion could be drawn. Everything in the journal of Charlie Small is true. He really has wrestled a deadly river croc, ridden a steam-powered rhino, been cabin boy for a band of desperate lady-pirates and tribal chief in a city of gorillas. And countless other things besides. And ...not only that ...even though Charlie Small is only eight, he must have lived for over six hundred years! This second volume was found encased in ice, high on a glacial plateau in the Himalayas. It details even more remarkable deeds and thrilling acts aboard the Jolly Roger with the dastardly lady-pirates of perfidy - and a lot more besides. It is guaranteed to delight readers as much as Charlie's first journal. Note: At the time of writing we had just received unconfirmed reports of a third journal, found on a seat at a bus stop in Pimlico. If the diary proves to be further adventures of Charlie Small, rest assured that we will publish it very soon indeed. Meantime, do please continuing looking out for a young boy with a slightly perplexed look, a battered rucksack and an unlikely talent for swinging through trees...

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic bedtime reading, 28 Mar 2007
By Kirsty (Derbyshire, England) - See all my reviews
I bought this to read to my 8 year old son and 5 year old daughter in bed. They loved it and I really enjoyed reading it. Some parts made my daughter hide her head under the covers! Every time I tried to close the book it was met with "just one more page pleeeeeeeeese". Theres not many little boys (or girls) who don't wish for some adventures just like Charlie Small. Buy it now, you will all love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars In the opinion of Rebecca, age 6, 22 Mar 2007
By S. Griffiths "Rebecca" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In this book, a boy called Charlie Small gets caught by some blood-thirsty lady pirates. He gets made a cabin boy, and then a pirate! However he soon tires of this and manages to escape by building a fantastic contraption. I would recommend this book to adventure seeking readers(6+).I thought the style (as a journal) was great, and the illustrations were fantastic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Charlie Small, 26 April 2009
A Kid's Review
This book is fantastic because Charlie Small has really exciting adventures. The story is really creative and it is written as if Charlie Small is writing it himself. I would recommend this and all the other Charlie Small books. (Max, aged 7)
