Jimmy’s dad has to get rid of his fishing boat and the whole family – Mam, Dad, Jimmy and his tealeaf-reading Gran – are forced to move away from their coastal village home. At first, Jimmy thinks none of them will never get used to living inland and it will be a disaster, but Gran’s tea leaves tell a stranger story than that…
Jimmy’s continued fascination with all things aquatic leads him to meet the local retired Major, whose hobby is keeping a pond full of valuable koi carp. When Jimmy inadvertently overhears of a plot to steal the fish, he doesn’t mean to tackle the burglars single-handedly. But neither does he really intend to do it with the help of the awful school bully… or of several hundred alarm clocks…!
A truly entertaining, pacy adventure story, which boys will especially love.
