'[A] thrilling, full-tilt adventure' - GuardianFamily secrets, a kingdom in danger, the adventure of a lifetime for two brothers and their horse . .

. ‘Small Wonder’: that was what Tick’s grandfather always called him. He taught Tick a lot of things: how to take care of himself; how to take care of his little brother, Leaf; how to take care of their horse, Pebble.

But Grandfather is no longer around . . .

So when the family home is under suddenly threat, it’s on Tick to put everything he’s learned into practice and protect his family, by taking them on a quest filled with danger. Because it’s not just their home at risk; enemies are invading the whole land. He has only six moons to get to Kings’ Keep and warn their ruler .

. . Travelling through forests and mountains, encountering bandits and rogue knights along the way, the journey is not an easy one.

But Tick is determined to honour his grandfather’s last advice – Make it count, Small Wonder. . .
