Biographical note
Josh Lacey is the author of many books for children including The Dragonsitter, the Hope Jones series and the Grk series. He has worked as a journalist and written one book for adults, God is Brazilian. His first book for children, A Dog Called Grk, was shortlisted for the Branford Boase Award. Josh lives in London with his wife and daughters."Touching, crazy and smart . . . If your children are too young for Horowitz's teenaged spy series, this is a good alternative"
The Times
"By turns lightly comic and cinematically adventurous, the plot zips along nicely with tongue firmly in cheek"
Kirkus
"A high-octane plot, filled with action, suspense and humour, along with an element of dark political seriousness, combine to create a hugely entertaining read"
Booktrust
"A really great story for all who long for adventure"
Northern Echo
"The benefits of being a computer nerd are aptly demonstrated. Tim pilots a helicopter accompanied by GRK (brave, generous and foolish in Stanislavian) to rescue his owners, Max and Natascha, after a coup by evil Colonel Zinfandel"
