The Island of Thieves
"Funny and action packed, this well-paced, smartly written crime caper is just the thing for boys of 8+. Uncle Harvey is a wonderful comic creation; more, please."
Amanda Craig, The Times
"A thrilling adventure"
Julia Eccleshare, The Guardian
"One of the best children’s adventure stories of the year"
Books for Keeps
"A stunning treasure story complete with a mysterious manuscript and hidden chests of gold and silver. While firmly rooted in the perils and dangers of modern day life in Peru, the real magic of the story lies in the tales of plundering pirates, majestic galleons, and legendary sea voyages contained in the manuscript."
