The first all-action adventure journal by the eight-year-old who has lived for over four hundred years. Sounds impossible but incredibly it’s true. Charlie’s journal is utterly gripping, totally unputdownable and will have you laughing, crying and being astounded by his many adventures from how he fought off a ravenous river crocodile, how to speak some really useful words in Gorilla and what to do if a hyena thinks you are a midnight snack. This little boy is a real find and is sure to get boys everywhere looking for clues and hunting for him all over the world.
Charlie Small had so many wild adventures, witnessed so many extraordinary things, lived such an incredible life, and still only be eight. He 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.
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.
