When Tim discovers an abandoned dog, he has no idea what he is letting himself in for. A thrill-ride for middle-grade readers, packed with spies, helicopters, and a dramatic dash across an international border.

What would you do if you found a dog in the street? Would you return him to his owners? Even if they were a thousand miles away – and in prison? Tim finds a stray dog on the way home from school, but his parents refuse to let it into their house. He knows what he has to do. He catches a plane to Eastern Europe . . . Tim will have to break into a high-security prison, pilot a helicopter and make a nail-biting run for the border – all for a dog called Grk.

Shortlisted for the Branford Boase Award.

Industry Reviews
"Touching, crazy and smart . . . If your children are too young for Horowitz's teenaged spy series, this is a good alternative"
The Times

"By turns lightly comic and cinematically adventurous, the plot zips along nicely with tongue firmly in cheek"
Kirkus

"A high-octane plot, filled with action, suspense and humour, along with an element of dark political seriousness, combine to create a hugely entertaining read"
Booktrust

"A really great story for all who long for adventure"
Northern Echo

"The benefits of being a computer nerd are aptly demonstrated. Tim pilots a helicopter accompanied by GRK (brave, generous and foolish in Stanislavian) to rescue his owners, Max and Natascha, after a coup by evil Colonel Zinfandel"
Financial Times
