Seventeen years in the making, this novel is intended for all ages.
It is about two hamsters trapped in their plastic prison known as a
chummery, Oliver Fluff and his comrade, Smudge McDuff, far from
content at their fate long to escape their mundane and monotonous
existence so common to pet hamsters everywhere, in search of
freedom in the outside world. They escape into an unexpected
underworld of terror, horrible evil and nasty villains, but in the
process discover the value of friendship, the commitments and
sacrifices required, as well as the ultimate satisfaction in
achieving their motivating dream.
A fast-paced fantasy adventure, set in a medieval land where
dinosaurs still roam. Dramatic illustrations of knights and a
dinosaur field guide add appeal for the most reluctant reader. When
the Highlanders are attacked and kidnapped by their ruthless
neighbours, the Dino Knights are torn between avenging Ellie's
Highlander family or protecting Brecklan which is now under threat.
Ellie and Henry risk everything and disobey orders to go to the
rescue. But in doing so they make a powerful new ally who will help
them save Brecklan. This second book in the series can also be read
as a stand alone. For ages 7-11
