Book Synopsis

From the award-winning, bestselling author of I Am Rebel, this brand-new adventure is perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, Michael Morpurgo and Wild Robot.

Family secrets, a kingdom in danger, the adventure of a lifetime for two brothers and their horse . . .

‘Small Wonder’: that was what Tick’s grandfather always called him. He taught Tick a lot of things: how to take care of himself; how to take care of his little brother, Leaf; how to take care of their horse, Pebble. But Grandfather is no longer around . . .

So when the family home is under suddenly threat, it’s on Tick to put everything he’s learned into practice and protect his family, by taking them on a quest filled with danger. Because it’s not just their home at risk; enemies are invading the whole land. He has only six moons to get to Kings’ Keep and warn their ruler . . .

Travelling through forests and mountains, encountering bandits and rogue knights along the way, the journey is not an easy one. But Tick is determined to honour his grandfather’s last advice – Make it count, Small Wonder. . .
