Mark & Shark: Detectiving & Stuff
|
"A feast of wildly imaginative slapstick antics brought to life by the perfectly quirky and outrageously clever pictures of talented illustrator Katie Abey" - Lancashire Evening Post
"A hilarious read, with both author John Dougherty and illustrator Katie Abey packing loads of silly humour into the words and pictures to keep [children] entertained" - The Scotsman
Meet Mark (a boy) and Shark (a shark) - they're experts(ish) in detectiving and stuff. When an enormous polar bear asks for their help with her ice cream business, little do they realize that they'll end up doing more detectiving than they bargained for!
