Noah Ramsbottom and the Treasure of Skull Island

In the second of the Noah Ramsbottom stories, Blunderplod, the small, fat, young cousin of Mr Littleplod, finds himself in a spot of bother. Whilst searching for treasure, he's been captured by the nasty one-armed, one-legged, one-eyed pirate captain, Peg Leg Julian. Peg Leg wants the treasure map for himself, of course, but because Blunderplod won't tell him where it is, the captain is forcing Blunderpod to walk the plank from his submarine, where poor Blunderpod will be eaten alive by evil yellow crabs! In a last-ditch effort to save his skin, Blunderplod exclaims that a human 9-year-old boy named Noah Ramsbottom has the treasure map. Peg Leg Julian has Blunderplod write a letter to Noah. When the boy wakes up, he finds a pigeon on the window ledge with a note on his leg. The letter is from Blunderplod and he begs Noah to help him. Noah Ramsbottom sets off for a magic cave, but when he arrives and tells the cave guard, Mr Littleplod, that his cousin has been captured by Peg Leg Julian, Littleplod faints. It's up to Noah and the tiny elf, Tiggleplod, to save the day. This endearing children's fantasy is not only fun to read, but is also a tongue twister of Blunderplod proportions! Rob Bullock is writing his third Noah Ramsbottom adventure, set in ancient Egypt. He lives with his family in the Yorkshire Dales, in the small village of Clapham.
