Synopsis

This is first published the Puppet Master. 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. Now, a third instalment has been tracked down and salvaged from beneath the seat of a bus shelter in Pimlico. Having finally escaped from the perfidious pirates, Charlie travels through icy waters and hair-raising mountains and encounters man-eating bats, a wolf whose bark is worse than his bite, and ultimately finds himself ensnared by the evil Puppet Master, a figure of pure unadulterated evil. Will Charlie manage to escape his clutches, or will he remain a puppet forever, never to adventure again?

About the Author

Charlie Small is a keen amateur explorer. His interests include conversing in the secret language of the gorillas, hypnotizing sharks and snow-scooting. He is also rather handy with a cutlass and a lasso. Charlie's current whereabouts is a matter of some speculation, however, his mother assures us that he will be home in time for tea . . .

Review

"Buccaneering boys' books to grip the most reluctant reader" * Daily Telegraph * "Should prove irresistible to readers of seven and upward" * The Bookseller * "My seven year old couldn't put it down" * The School Librarian * "Imaginative scenarios and exciting set-piece scenes. Charlie's scrapes and escapes are mapped step by step, like a good action stunt, with a balance of detail and pace. Production quality is also excellent" * TES *
