The sixth book in the wickedly funny rhyming series for young readers from the irresistible pairing of Tim Healey and Chris Mould.
A wickedly funny series that will appeal to all young scientists, created by Chris Mould, illustrator of A Boy Called Christmas and Tim Healey. If you like Horrid Henry, you'll love Mortimer Keene.
Mortimer Keene is full to bursting with madcap plans, and if it's trouble you're after, look no further! With laugh-out-loud illustrations, rollicking rhymes, and short chapters perfect for new readers.
The Beast of the Bay has stolen six people on the school fossil-hunting trip. The coastguard are no use - the monster has destroyed their helicopter. Can Mortimer use his new aquaplane to stop the monster before it's too late?
