Synopsis

Award-winning, dyslexia-friendly, and written in playful rhyming verse — a Scottish eco-adventure for ages 4–8.

A monster in trouble. A daring rescue. A lesson to save the planet.

On the shores of Loch Ness, the Lamb Gang stumble upon a shocking sight: a mysterious monster, barely breathing. As they rush to help, curious Clover spots something stuck in its throat - and with the kiss of life firmly out of the question (yuck!), the clever lambs must hatch an ingenious plan to save the poor creature before it's too late.

When the monster is finally safe, the Lamb Gang are in for a surprise: it's Nessie, the legendary Loch Ness Monster! She thanks her new friends, but warns them of a growing danger - plastic pollution is harming animals everywhere. Determined to make a difference, the Lamb Gang set off on a mission to help clean up the planet.

Told entirely in playful, rhyming verse, this is a heartwarming Highland adventure with a big heart and a bigger message: look after our world, and the wild creatures we share it with.

A perfect early-reader chapter book for ages 4–8, featuring:

• Playful rhyming verse that makes reading feel like fun, not a struggle

• A dyslexia-friendly font, layout, and design - built for reluctant and struggling readers

• Warm, characterful illustrations by Clinton Banbury throughout

• A gentle introduction to conservation, anti-littering, and teamwork

• A glossary of Scottish words at the back

• Loved by parents, teachers, homeschoolers, SENCOs, and eco-conscious families
  
  "If we look after our planet, our planet will look after us."

Fans of Julia Donaldson and Kes Gray will love the rhyme and rhythm, and any child who benefits from a Barrington Stoke-style approach to accessible reading will feel right at home - with a dash of mystery, heart, and everyday bravery.

The first adventure in The Lamb Gang of Loch Ness series.

About this title

About the Author

Safari, just like your every day 'human folk,' is a bit wild about animals, nature, and our incredible planet. Born in JRR Tolkien's ‘Middle-earth’, in the U.K., Safari found her calling to write after navigating the challenging terrain of a Law Degree (with Honours). Her passion lies in empowering kids to connect with the environment and fostering a sense of superhero-like agency in the realm of conservation.

Safari's mission is to sprinkle a bit of magic and adventure into the hearts of both young and old 'human folk.' Her stories aren't just tales―they're a gateway to building empathy for animals and landscapes, empowering V.I.P. kids to take charge of conservation and our planet.

In the midst of weaving tales that inspire little ones to be eco-heroes, Safari stumbled upon a merry band of lambs frolicking on the shores of Loch Ness in Scotland. And that's where the magic began – the Lamb Gang series, quite literally, leapt into existence!
