The Travels of Ermine: Trouble in New York
Publisher: Usborne
When Ermine goes to New York to stay with her guardian's friend Michael S Megabucks, she's hoping to see the sights and fill up her scrapbook with great photographs. But when her hat box is accidentally swapped for a box containing a stolen diamond, the thieves who stole it are determined to get it back before they're discovered... Surely one small stoat won't be too much trouble?
Starring a resourceful and spirited young stoat, a friendly millionaire and his young son, two not-so-bright escaped jewellery thieves, a luggage mix-up, and an enormous, missing diamond, Trouble in New York is a fun, fast-paced adventure.
From hypnotising alligators to creating a burglar-bashing obstacle course, Ermine is a sweet new character, supported by the affable Mike Junior and Mr Megabucks. With black and white illustrations throughout, it’s perfect for young readers who are just starting to get to grips with chapter books.
