Mission Microraptor

The first tale in an epic trilogy

Hailed by parents, teachers and librarians as the book that will bring boys back to reading, Mission Microraptor is a perfect mix of adventure, danger, humour and heart.

Two boys and a microraptor. A dark, mysterious forest. And a squad of army-trained mercenaries searching for them. What could possibly go wrong?

Testimonials

  • Laugh-out-loud funny!

    “This book is absolutely HILARIOUS! And if your children are reluctant readers, then THIS is the book that will change that forever! It’s brilliantly written, thoroughly engaging from start to finish, and wonderfully witty every step of the way.” – B Ware.

  • A great book

    "A really great story and perfect for fans of Alex Rider. Loved by my Year 5 class and myself. I'm very much looking forward to the next book in the series.” – Chrissie

  • A funny and adventurous read

    “My son loves reading, but tends to dip in and out of books - I could tell this one was a hit when he kept taking it to bed each night.” – PrincessGrunge

Mission Manta Ray

The incredible second adventure

Finn, Milo, and new girl, Tasi – together with Arty, the microraptor – are sent to investigate deep-sea disturbances.

Soon they are plunged into danger when their research ship is torpedoed by a vast submersible shaped like a manta ray.

Once again, the junior agents are face to face with an enemy that has bottomless ambition . . .
