Packed full of humour, excitement and lots of crazy creatures, O’Grady’s children’s debut sets a boy who can talk to animals on a quest to thwart the dastardly plans of Amsterdam’s premier supervillain.
The hilarious and action-packed middle grade adventure from beloved comedian and bestselling author Paul O’Grady.
Unbeknownst to anyone, somewhat-unhappy and never-quite-fitting in 10-year-old Eddie Albert can speak to animals, including his pet dog Butch, his hamster and his two goldfish (who claim they were once pirates). But when Eddie is sent to stay with his eccentric aunt in Amsterdam, he discovers that she too has this gift…
So begins a breathless cosmopolitan comic crime adventure, as Eddie, Aunt Budge, his new friend Flo and a whole gang of amazing animals take on the most-dastardly villain Amsterdam has ever seen, in a desperate race against time to save one of their own.

In the words of our 8 year old: this book is packed with adventure and heartwarming moments. It’s also very funny. I read it over and over again, and hope that Paul O’ Grady writes another book for children soon!
