Synopsis
When Tim is followed home by a dog on the street, he's determined to find out who the friendly stray belongs to. But with a little investigating, Tim discovers that Grk's owners don't live in his town, or even in his country. Max and Natascha Raffifi, Grk's owners, have been kidnapped with their ambassador parents by the evil Colonel Zinfandel and taken to a prison in Eastern Europe! Tim knows he's about to undertake a mission his parents wouldn't exactly approve of. He sneaks out of the house in the middle of the night with Grk, catches a taxi to the airport, then hops a plane to Stanislavia. Together he and Grk will have to break into a high-security prison, pilot a helicopter, and make a nail-biting run for the border in this high-octane, international adventure.

Review
". . . touching, crazy and smart . . . If your children are too young for Horowitz's teenaged spy series, this is a good alternative. The best joke of all is that a child who has done nothing but play computer games knows how to fly a helicopter." (Amanda Craig The Times)
". . . the benefits of being a computer nerd are aptly demonstrated. Tim pilots a helicopter accompanied by GRK (brave, generous and foolish in Stanislavian) to rescue his owners, Max and Natascha, after a coup by evil Colonel Zinfandel." (Financial Times (UK and Ireland))
"Tim finds a stray dog on his way home from school, but his parents refuse to let him keep it. He discovers the owner lives thousands of miles away - in prison! Tim knows he must return him so he makes a plan; he will travel by taxi, then plane to Eastern Europe. All he has to do then is break into the high security prison to return the dog - all without getting caught. Will he manage it?" (pdsa pet protectors)
"A really great story for all who long for adventure." (Rosalind Kerven Northern Echo)
"A friendship and a story guaranteed to keep you glued to your chair." (Karen Hart Wanstead and Woodford Guardian)
