Hairy Mole and the Precious Islands

The third and final book featuring Hairy Mole and his bold pirate crew: Belch, Pickle, the twins, Crevice and Pitt, Guff and Mr. Bogey, the first mate who has a cricket bat for a leg. This time Hairy Mole has a serious job to do. His younger cousin Furry Mole has got himself into a spot of bother, and Hairy and his crew must find a way to save him. So there's no time for fun and games! No time to learn the rules of cockroach football, or to lose at poker to T towel the cat. This is serious. It involves three time hags (eager to turn into big-time witches), secret tunnels, precious gems, kings and real pirate goings on. The Hairy Mole books are ideal for young independent readers, beginning to explore the world through books. Intricate line drawings and inventive use of font and typesetting really grab the reader's attention. Humor and piracy are a particularly potent combination for boys, especially with the recent success of pirate subject matter in films.Owen, Chris is the author of 'Hairy Mole and the Precious Islands', published 2008 under ISBN 9781841675640 and ISBN 1841675644.
