Tuck and Tina and the Lost Fortune

About this book

Tina the mouse loves living in a hole in the wall of Boone School. She listens attentively in lessons and enjoys watching the children having fun together, but she longs to have a friend of her own. 

When the new class pet, Tuck the mouse, arrives, Tina has high hopes that they will become pals, but they are so different. While Tina likes order, rules and plans, Tuck is a whirlwind, who doesn't listen in lessons and is always seeking the next thrilling adventure.  

Both mice are devastated to learn that the school has run out of money and is shutting down, so they vow to join forces to save it from demolition. If only they could find the long-lost fortune of the school’s founder, June Boone - but they don't know where to start looking, and time is running out.  

This stylishly designed chapter book is a visual feast. The fabulously funny illustrations are full of character, and each page features a different main colour, making the book visually striking. 

Written as a journal, the daily entries help to break up the text into manageable sections, making it ideal for young children who are just developing their reading stamina.
