Summary
Brought to you by Puffin.
Rex's parents have split up, he's about to make the daunting move to secondary school and to make matters worse, he has to spend his summer holiday on a remote and rainy Irish island - with lots of unruly sheep for company.
The only upside: he'll be staying with his strange and brilliant uncle, Derm.
Then Rex discovers Uncle Derm is about to execute his most hair-brained plan yet - to rob the island's travelling bank!
Like the local legend of medieval pirate queen Grace O'Malley, Uncle Derm plans to redistribute the money to local needy causes on the island.
And he needs Rex's help.
A madcap robbery, plenty of sheep and a summer of discoveries come together in this hilarious and moving novel, perfect for fans of Frank Cottrell Boyce, Ross Welford and David Walliams.

Such a great book
I really liked David reading his own book because he gave it the character that he wrote into the book. I really liked the story.

Great Fun
Great Fun for adults as well as the target audience!
Introduces the concept of dying and end of life choices in a non-morbid way.

Derm was a great character, funny and outrageous
Liked the characters, the humour. Nothing to dislike. Was a very funny adventurous story.
Thanks very much.
