Turning our everyday rubbish into treasure, the tiny Tindims dive deep for an underwater adventure. The Tindims all have diaries, but nothing exciting to write in them. Until the day that Pinch digs a very deep hole and finds something interesting. Adventure is in the air! The Tindims come face to face with a fearsome Garbage Gobbler, they bump into Stumbling Stone Island and find Skywhistle, Googletop, Eggnot, Peggnot and Cloud. And Broom meets Brush in a story with the happiest of happy endings.
Combining eccentric characters, short chapters and lively illustrations, this delightful new series is ideal for confident, independent readers. Full of joy and laughter, this quirky adventure also carries an important environmental message about waste, pollution and recycling. * BookTrust Great Books Guide 2021 *
It is a clear choice for a class book when learning about conservation and inventive ways to recycle as it is sure to inspire conversations… a must have for the school library * Reading Zone *
It takes a skilled and singular talent to create a book that marries an ecological message with a ripping yarn. And here there are two - mother and daughter Gardner and Corry...this stands as a perfectly realised new world that intrepid young minds will want to return to. * Big Issue, The Tindims of Rubbish Island *
