The GLOOM BADGER is in daily charge of a dastardly crew of rodent pirates and above him is the legendary CAPTAIN CARVER. But they haven't reckoned with THE NARZAT, THE LOOKY LIZARD AND THE CHATTY CHIRPER! Dive into a host of comic characters and an unpredictable plot!




Imagine a jungle with Dahlesque villains and a Walliams style storyline and you've got The Narzat!
- The School Librarian

Replays the Medusa myth in an engagingly original manner: the Narzat and his companions face up to the Gorgonconda with nothing but cooking utensils. The book bursts with silly puns and inventive language. Yet the novel is also about kindness defeating cruelty, families reuniting and the triumph of truth over falsehood. Children of eight and up will cheer on its ramshackle, eccentric heroes.
-Literary Review

The Narzat is a visual and verbal delight as Marchant and Walker harness their considerable talents on another all-action romp that packs in everything that young readers adore. A sure-fire winner with your own mischief-makers!
—Lancashire Evening Post

An action-packed, laugh-out-loud adventure. Brilliantly illustrated.
