He keeps all kinds of useful objects hidden inside his shell. They help to keep him out of trouble, which is never far away...

A witty, brilliantly author-illustrated project from David O'Connell, the illustrator behind Tom Vaughan's Hercules, Pip Bird's The Naughtiest Unicorn, and many more. A winning blend of the chaos, wacky humour, adventure and comic-style art of graphic novels like Bunny vs Monkey and Investigators, and a more traditional, wittily written fiction story.
