Legend says there’s a silver-scaled hero. Legend says there’s a missing golden lobster. We say – it’s a brilliant and exciting read!

When you open the book, you are greeted with a pictorial map, and the sight of Cap’n Cone’s ice cream shop alone is enough to entice you to want to read on. This location certainly doesn’t disappoint later on in the book when trying to visualise a Sea Mist Meringue Mess or a Manatee Matinee Sundae.

Characters are engaging and intriguing, such as Barry the HatRat. There is also a heart-warming friendship between the main protagonist, Sandy, and his best friend, Lily.

This is a super fun, seaside-pun-filled page-turner, perfect for reading on a summer holiday. It’s ‘Easy Peasy Lobster Squeezy’ to tell why it’s going to be popular with readers!
