Synopsis

No one knows the full story of Charlie Small. At least, not yet. His battered journal was found washed up on a remote, windswept shore. And at first we thought it an elaborate hoax. Surely no 8-year-old could have had so many wild adventures, witnessed so many extraordinary things, lived such an incredible life–and still only be eight. And yet . . . there was something so vivid in the telling that we were persuaded to send the journal and some of its boggling content for analysis. And only one conclusion could be drawn. Everything in the journal of Charlie Small is true! In his first adventure, Gorilla City, Charlie wrestles a deadly river croc, rides a steam-powered rhino, and becomes tribal chief in a city of gorillas.

About The Author

Charlie Small is a keen amateur explorer. His interests include climbing trees, collecting things, playing computer games and football. He also enjoys conversing in the secret language of the gorillas. His present whereabouts is unknown, but we understand that he's hoping to be home in time for tea.

Right from the first chapter, I knew that I would loved reading about Charlie Small. I especially like when he thinks to himself, "Brilliant!" That just tickles my funny bone. As for this adventure being found in a journal, what a great concept. This is obviously the first of many books to come, as......more

Goodreads review by Mig793 on September 01, 2016

2,5/5 Me ha gustado pero... Este libro es una novela middle-grade tirando más a infantil. La historia es muy original y también muy extraña. Por ejemplo, de repente, el autor cambiaba al protagonista así porque así de un lugar a otro sin dar explicación aparente y yo ya no sabia ni dónde estaba ni c......more
