No one knows the full
story of Charlie Small.
At least, not yet. His
original battered journal
was found washed up on a
remote, windswept shore
in the north of England.
And at first we thought
it an elaborate hoax.
Surely no eight-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 pursuaded,
just enough, to send the
journal and some of its
boggling content for
analysis.
The
results were absolutely
astonishing. And only one
conclusion could be
drawn. Everything in the
journal of Charlie Small
is true. He really has
wrestled a deadly river
croc, ridden a
steam-powered rhino,
been cabin boy for a band
of desperate lady-pirates
and tribal chief in a
city of gorillas. And
countless other things
besides. And.. . not only
that.. . even though
Charlie Small is only
eight, he must have
lived for over four
hundred
years!
This second
volume was found encased
in ice, high on a
glacial plateau in the
Himalayas. It details
even more remarkable
deeds and thrilling acts
aboard the Jolly Roger
with the dastardly
lady-pirates of perfidy -
and a lot more besides.
It is guaranteed to
delight readers as much
as Charlie's first
journal.
Note: At
the time of writing we
had just received
unconfirmed reports of a
third journal, found on
a seat at a bus stop in
Pimlico. If the diary
proves to be further
adventures of Charlie
Small, rest assured that
we will publish it very
soon indeed. Meantime,
do please continuing
looking out for a young
boy with a slightly
perplexed look, a
battered rucksack and an
unlikely talent for
swinging through

This novel is set

many the Milmullen family
is a bit of a joke. The
family, however, have

turns 16 in a week's

will become the 13th
Mourner. But Tim doesn't
know if he wants the
role. For one thing all
the kids at school tease
him, calling his father
crazy, saying Old
William back in 1699
