The Tindims of Rubbish Island: win the first two books in this adorable series

The Tindims are a mysterious cast of characters who live on Rubbish Island, turning human trash into treasure - and getting into all sorts of adventures! Here's how you can win the first two books by Sally Gardner.

Meet the Tindims!

On Rubbish Island, surrounded by plastic bottles and thrown-away toys, there lives a community of tiny people who love turning human trash into treasure - the Tindims!

Created by Sally Gardner and illustrated by her daughter Lydia Corry, these sweet stories for 5-8 year olds about the mess that humans leave behind is a wonderful, gentle way to start talking to children about the importance of looking after the planet and taking responsibility for our rubbish. 

We have the first two books in the series - The Tindims of Rubbish Island and The Tindims and the Turtle Tangle - for three lucky winners to get their hands on, before the next two books in the series arrive later this year.
