Reviews
This is a wonderful story about overcoming self-doubt, trusting your instincts, and the importance of family. Readers aged 8 – 12 will love this story
Lamont Books
The second in this series brings the beloved characters back and reassures us that whilst some things look like they might change, there will always be people and things that are constants in our lives. […]I’m really looking forward to seeing where Pearly and Pig go next!
Ashleigh Meikle
There’s plenty of action, great characters and a whiff of Indiana Jones in this novel.

Throughout the story readers meet a new cast of characters, some villainous, others cheeky, and some reliable, but we’re not always sure who is who… Pearly and Pig and the Lost City of Mu Suvan feels like a very complimentary, cohesive follow up. There is a consistency in the characters, the content level and the reading level.
