"A gripping children's adventure/mystery story, bursting with the wildlife of the Shetland Islands." 

Smugglers. Vikings. Shetland should be a fascinating place for a holiday, but Jack is harbouring a secret and is less than enthusiastic to be there. Then he meets Izzie and her exotic pets and things get a lot more interesting: Jack finds an unexpected visitor underneath the fridge; the wandering man is not what he seems, and each night a mysterious person waits on the beach outside Jack's cottage. But what do all these have to do with an unusual visitor called Octavia? 

Jack and Izzie find themselves in the middle of a dangerous adventure, wondering what the next tide will bring to the land of the Viking Fire Festival. 

 A Sneak Preview...  

Jack's summer holiday gets off to a rocky start when he tosses his cookies all over a biker dude's boots on the ferry ride to the most un-glamorous vacation spot on earth, the Shetland Islands far away in the North Sea. 

"Who wants to go to Shetland anyway?" Jack grumbles to his Mum. From the moment he makes his wobbly landing in chilly Lerwick, Jack's vacation is anything but dull. His next door neighbour Izzie has barely introduced herself when they find a rare Mexican red-kneed tarantula under the refrigerator in his cottage. To Jack's horror and amazement, she calmly picks up the spider and leads him to her super-secret Izzie-zoo containing Bombina the Oriental fire-bellied toad and Karma the chameleon. Discovering how this exotic creature came to live in a shed in Izzie's backyard takes these two fast friends on a trail that leads to dangerous smugglers. Along the way Jack also discovers that before he can truly get on with his life he must unlock the painful secret he brought with him...
