No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Dominic's middle name is trouble, but not because he's got a troublesome nature, but quite simply because he's ALWAYS in the wrong place at the wrong time. So it's not surprising that he's only allowed on the school trip to Thundercliff Bay - home to pirate legend, chilling ghost stories and lost treasure - by the skin of his teeth. Or that strict Mr Risley-Newsome, who has his beady eye on him, makes him stay at the youth hostel for forgetting his walking boots. What is surprising is that a very special discovery made by Dominic saves the day when the whole class is in serious danger, and proves to everyone that sometimes he can be in the right place at the right time.
Gervase Phinn is the bestselling adult author of The Other Side of the Dale, Over Hill and Dale, Head Over Heels in the Dale and Up and Down in the Dale, all of which have been top ten bestsellers. He has sold over half a million copies in paperback in the UK to date. His children's titles have also sold well over 100 thousand copies. He is a real enthusiast, regularly promoting children's books. Gervase lives in Doncaster.
Gervase Phinn is a rarity, an engaging author and an appealing narrator. An additional delight is his infectious humor. Dominic eagerly awaits his school trip to Thundercliff Bay; however, he is, as his Gran proclaims, "accident prone." This tendency gets him into trouble at school, and soon he is in danger of not going on the trip. Phinn expertly captures the world of school kids, their competitions, battles, and the vast differences between pompous Mr. Risley-Newsome and endearing Miss Pruett, who gives her students just the right combination of tartness and tolerance. Listeners of all ages are in for a special treat as they make the acquaintance of Dominic Dowson. S.G.B. ยฉ AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine-- Copyright ยฉ AudioFile, Portland, Maine
