Wherever best-friends Tyke Tiler and Danny Price are, there is usually trouble – stolen money, a sheep’s skeleton, fights in class – and it’s usually trouble that Tyke has to sort out.

Is it possible to keep hapless Danny out of trouble? And what final surprise does Tyke have in store? A fantastic new edition of one of the most lively and popular children’s classics.
