Imagine you could go anywhere in the world with just a press of a button. One second, you are in your living room, and the next, on top of the Eiffel Tower!Well, thirteen-year-old Charlie Sor doesn’t have to imagine—because that’s what his life is like! When his clumsy young neighbour accidentally invents a teleportation device called the Ping, egomaniac Lorcan Ulysses Natic relentlessly sets out to take it. Charlie helps thwart a kidnapping and meets an old man named Ted Ious. Now Ted’s name may sound boring; however he’s anything but, and his quiet life at the Golden Years Old Folks’ Home is simply a cover. Ted is one of the world’s greatest (and probably oldest!) secret agents but as his mission progresses, he soon finds he needs Charlie’s help to stop Natic once and for all. Charlie and Ted’s adventure takes them to the wilds of South Africa and the busy city streets of Marrakech. They repeatedly have to outwit Natic’s bungling henchmen and thwart his devious plot. Along the way, Charlie learns that becoming a secret agent isn’t all just flashy gadgets and cool code names. He and Ted will put their lives on the line to keep the Ping out of Natic’s clutches!

From the author:When my youngest daughter was born, my eldest was very upset with me for having her sister and, with her sister for taking some of my attention away from her. I wrote this book to help my daughter make sense of her feelings and express them to me so we could start to heal her wounded heart. The use of animals in this book allows children to safely project their feelings and brainstorm ways to help these characters feel better. It is a great way to initiate a gentle conversation with your child. Sample questions may include: “Why do you think Poobum is so upset?” “Do you think Poobum’s parents love him less because they now love Pompom too?” “How could Poobum’s parents show him that they still love him very much?”
