Meet Bumple and Little Mop: stars of a wild and wonderful new adventure from award-winning author and artist Helen Kellock.
A story about what it really means to be wild, from an award-winning author and artist. In a forgotten part of the sea, there lies a secret island: the Isle of Begg. Its shores are wild and wonderful, with creatures of every kind... But there's one little creature, called Bumple, who has no interest in the island's wonders – she'd much rather stay put in her cosy home patch. It's only when a mischievous little beastie crash lands in her world that Bumple begins to realize ... a little bit of wildness can be a LOT of fun!
