Meet Tina and Tuck - two unlikely friends ready for adventure! A fun, full-colour series for 6+ children, ideal for readers moving from picture books to chapter stories.

Out-of-control water fountains, classrooms full of crickets and other disasters have convinced the school board that the grand but decrepit old Boone School needs to close its doors.

Tuck and Tina learn that the problems are the handiwork of a masked troublemaker intent on closing the school in order to filch dinosaur fossils buried beneath the building.

A kidnapped principal, an escaped bear, and a sky high chase with Tuck and Tina piloting a model bi-plane add to the mayhem.

Praise for the Tuck and Tina series:
'Heartwarming and hilarious!' Jeff Kinney, bestselling author of The Diary of a Wimpy Kid
