Book description
Tim can't wait to go on holiday - especially as he gets to bring his
friend Biscuits along. But their trip unexpectedly becomes truly,
terribly adventurous when an encounter with two local bully-boys
threatens to disrupt the fun.
Narrated by Tim and interspersed with revealing, illustrated
extracts from Tim and Biscuits's holiday diaries, this is a wondefully
enjoyable story from one of the most popular writers around that both
girls and boys will love.
