Grk in the Evening Standard

Review of The Island of Thieves

There was a lovely review of The Island of Thieves in The Times last week, written by Amanda Craig.

Josh Lacey made a name for himself with his charmingly Tintinesque adventures about a boy and his dauntless dog, Grk. In The Island of Thieves, Tom Trelawney is foisted on his irresponsible Uncle Harvey while his exhausted parents go abroard for a week.

Uncle and nephew share the same nose - not least for mischief. Harvey, an inept conman, just hapens to have stumbled on a tantalising diary about treasure buried by Sir Francis Drake in Peru, so the pair head to South America. Harvey, however, owes a criminal a lot ofmoney and is told he must repay him with the treasure, or die. Luckily the vital clue is being used in a remote Peruvian toilet...

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.

Kindle

I'm pleased to say that I've now got a book available for the Kindle: my novel Bearkeeper can be bought from Amazon for the frankly bargain price of £1.99 (or just over three dollars if you're in the States).
