More Wild & Wacky Adventurers - Dianne Bates - Bog

Two new adventures from the multi-award winning duo Dianne Bates and Bill Condon, with illustrations by Cherie Dignam.
In "Hardnut Hannigan and the Jewel of the Jungle"...
Harold Hannigan's parents knew their baby was different when he fell out of his cot and landed head-first on the floor. From then on, Harold was known as Hardnut Hannigan. Hardnut amazed the world with his extraordinary deeds; he climbed Mount Everest, without an oxygen mask; won an Olympic marathon; swam the English Channel - underwater! But, at 12 years old, he'd run out of challenges. Then he read about a long-lost, precious jewel in the deeply dangerous jungles of Mongo-Wongo. With his faithful emu Thunderbang and his beloved pooch, Itchybutt, he set off on the greatest adventure of his young life! Would he ever find the Jewel of the Jungle? And even if he did, would he live to tell the tale?
In "Captain Offensnotty and the Giddi-Giddi Zombies"...
Not far into the voyage of The Concrete Slug, the crew discover that Captain 'Potty Dotty' Offensnotty is sneaking off at night to her home sweet home, which she has secretly towed behind the mother ship. While the crew has to survive sleeping fifteen to a bunk, their crafty captain lives a life of luxury, nibbling chocolates and watching television! Enraged, the sailors stage a mutiny, but before they can reach their captain, they must get past her very big and mean cat. Then, the hapless crew are attacked by a sailor-swallowing sea serpent and the ferocious flesh-eating Giddi-Giddi Zombies! Will they survive?
