"Unbeatable swashbuckling, flabbergasting adventures starring everyone’s favourite inventor"
Inventor Will Jakeman may be getting on – he’s 99 ¾ in fact – but he’s still having the most incredible adventures. Scary, swashbuckling, flabbergasting adventures to be precise, and they get even more mind-boggling with the arrival of young Charlie Small, accidentally catapulted from his universe onto Jakeman’s plant.
Charlie persuades the inventor to take him on a space trip and, unfortunately, they soon run into a band of Reptoid pirates who like nothing more than terrorising anyone who crosses their path. Our two heroes have Jakeman’s marvellous Mechanicals to help them, including of course the giant gorilla Steel-skull, plus Chuckles, the nuclear-fusion Hysterical Hyena, the Warrior Walrus, Battering Billy Goat and Gas-driven Hovering Hippo, but will even that be enough?
As with the earlier book in this series (and Charlie Small adventures, soon to be reissued), this is imagination-stretching stuff, the pages filled with Nick Ward’s brilliant drawings and diagrams and sure to be devoured by gadget-loving thrill seekers of all ages.
Will Jakeman is the inventor of the world-famous Marvellous Mechanimals - brilliant mechanical animals that defend people from all the dangerous creatures that inhabited their home.
