DANNY: PORTRAIT OF A SURREAL KILLER

Danny's not sad & lonely any more because Danny's got 'the voices'. Well, one voice.

...

When Tim finds an abandoned & bedraggled little dog outside his house, he can't just leave him there, even though his parents hate the idea of pets in their house. & then the endearing animal turns out to be Grk, the much loved pet of the recently replaced ambassador of Stanislavia, left behind when they made a rushed (and enforced) exit. Tim innocently wants to reunite them, but it means that he will become embroiled in the violent & dangerous politics of this little known East European country. To find them, he will have to break into a high security prison (and out again!) & escape from the consequent hue & cry. This will involve the hair-raising piloting of a helicopter, & a nail-biting race for the border. Could this be the new 007?
A Dog Called Grk is Shortlisted for the Branford Boase Award.

Hazel could leave Connie to complete the entire task unsupervised
