Julia Eccleshare's comment:
An exciting new adventure series with a green theme as Ben sets out to find who has stolen the strawberries. No one believes him when he says the thief is a monkey, so Ben bravely decides to find out exactly what’s going on. But there is too much danger for him to manage alone. Ben needs all the help he can get from his half sister and step brother in this charming story of a family with a difference. Plenty of humour and pace that are the hallmarks of Josh Lacey’s writing (Grk series and Bearkeeper) make this an absolute must read. You can see the second title in the Misfitz series, due this september, by clicking here. An extract for that title will follow sometime this summer.
