The Stowaway Mike Simmons
The Stowaway
Mike Simmons
Peggy, a jolly woman of the waterway, is astonished to find a grubby 11-year-old Zed hiding in a cupboard on the narrowboat she is taking to Boswell's Yard for repair. What do to with him? Peggy calls her friend Trip Boat Tim and his collie Barney to help. Unwilling to return a tearful Zed to his cruel uncle, they enlist the help of the local schoolteacher and policeman to contact Zed's family and find out where he belongs. The Stowaway by Mike Simmons is a charming and heartwarming tale that will appeal to children aged 8-13. Join Zed, Peggy, Tim and Barney on the narrowboat adventure, learning waterways craft and meeting colourful characters along the way. The story will hold the reader's attention from start to finish as the adults work out what is best for the boy, resulting in a very happy ending. The Stowaway will also give readers a fascinating and unique insight into life on a working canal boat. Educational as well as entertaining, the book includes a glossary of boating terms. Author Mike is inspired by Richmal Crompton and Michael Morpugo. For every copy sold, GBP1 will be donated to the Tideway Adventurers Narrowboat Project.
