A Dog Called Grk

". . . touching, crazy and smart . . . If your children are too young for Horowitz's teenaged spy series, this is a good alternative. The best joke of all is that a child who has done nothing but play computer games knows how to fly a helicopter." (Amanda Craig The Times)

". . . the benefits of being a computer nerd are aptly demonstrated. Tim pilots a helicopter accompanied by GRK (brave, generous and foolish in Stanislavian) to rescue his owners, Max and Natascha, after a coup by evil Colonel Zinfandel." (Financial Times (UK and Ireland))

"Tim finds a stray dog on his way home from school, but his parents refuse to let him keep it. He discovers the owner lives thousands of miles away - in prison! Tim knows he must return him so he makes a plan; he will travel by taxi, then plane to Eastern Europe. All he has to do then is break into the high security prison to return the dog - all without getting caught. Will he manage it?" (pdsa pet protectors)

"A really great story for all who long for adventure." (Rosalind Kerven Northern Echo)

"A friendship and a story guaranteed to keep you glued to your chair." (Karen Hart Wanstead and Woodford Guardian)
