Operation Tortoise

Grk: Operation Tortoise has been getting some great reviews.
In
The Times, Amanda Craig picked it as one of her "best summer reads", writing "My favourite adventure for younger readers is the new Joshua Doder, Grk: Operation Tortoise. His hero Tim is on holiday in the Seychelles and a boy and his dog are all that can prevent the extinction of a species. The humour, narrative voice and absence of magic stuff are a delight."

There's also a five-star review in the latest edition of
Books for Keeps and it has been chosen by the Daily Telegraph for their Family Book Club. If you follow the link, you'll find an interview with Joshua Doder and Trudie Styler and some notes on the book.

There's an excellent review on the
Write Away site which concludes "This is a novel (and series) which is sure to be popular and certainly deserves to be read."
