Funny, warm-hearted and action-packed, this is a tremendous addition to a well-loved series.
Guardian
A fun-filled and action-packed adventure . . . The fabulous duo of Grk and Tim may well remind you of the other irrepressible action and adventure duo of Tintin and Snowy. Great stuff.

I simply couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to find out what happened to Tim and Grk … Great reading for boys.
The Bookbag
Really funny and entertaining . . . It’s good to discover ‘young reads’ that don’t talk down. Consider me a fan.
