School's out, and Bobby Parrish is spending the summer on his dad's boat.

Job number one is to deal with the seals infesting the peninsula.

The money's good - but Bobby knows, deep down, that he hasn't got it in him.

Eoin Colfer's trademark humour and lightness of touch and Victor Ambrus's classic artwork evoke a strong sense of place, character and vitality.

An ideal gift for lovers of the best writing and artwork the children's market has to offer.
