“The excitement, the cucumber jokes, the fun illustrations by Lucinda Gifford, all make this picture book worth reading again and again.”
“Lucinda Gifford’s illustrations, coupled with the text, is the perfect combination of vivid colour and vibrancy which makes this picture book a true joy. McInerney has penned one of the most inventive, zany, warm and, quite simply, best picture books of the past year. ”
Hello. I'm Neil. I'm a sea cucumber.
It's a bit strange that I'm the star of this book. Usually books are about the cool sea creatures.
And I'm boring, even for a sea cucumber.
Nothing exciting ever happens to me.
At least, it hasn't before now ...
With deadpan text and hilarious illustrations, this is a fabulous story about a very unlikely hero and one epic adventure.
