The Adventures of Archie Blue

eBook
Eleven years old and bored, Archie is horrified to discover that his food-cremating father and television-obsessed mother have arranged a visit to see his Great-Uncle Frank, with his dodgy hearing aid, hideous brown clothes and incontinent cat Plop. However, after just a few minutes of polite conversation, Archie manages to escape, only to end up lost in the rain. Cold, damp and desperate, Archie takes shelter in a nearby junk shop, where he is shocked to discover an awe-inspiring collection of weird and wonderful objects. This is nothing though, compared to the surprises that he is soon to encounter.Along with the shop’s owner Old Betty, a pink-haired girl called Skye and his Great-Uncle Frank, Archie embarks on a fantastic journey into a magical world of stuffed parrots, messages in bottles, time-travelling astrolabes, ploppy cats, desert islands and pirates, in his quest to save the world.
