Twelve-year-old Rex is dreading this summer. His parents have just
split up, he's about to make the scary move to big school, and now he
has to spend his holidays on a remote Irish island, with a bunch of
sheep and lots of rain for company. The only upside is he will be
staying with his strange and brilliant Uncle, Derm.
But there are two things Rex doesn't know about his uncle.
1) He's determined to save the island's old people's home from closure.
2) He's planning to rob the island's travelling bank, in order to do it.
And now Uncle Derm needs Rex's help . . .
A madcap robbery, plenty of sheep and a summer of discoveries come
together in this hilarious and moving novel, perfect for fans of Frank
Cottrell Boyce, Ross Welford and David Walliams.
