When Tim finds an abandoned little dog outside his house, he can't just
leave him there, even though his parents hate the idea of pets in their
house.
But it turns out that this is no mere homeless pooch - he's Grk, the
missing pet of the ambassador of Stanislavia. Tim wants to reunite them,
but it means that he will become embroiled in the dangerous politics of
a secretive Eastern European country. It's not long before Tim finds
himself breaking into a high-security prison, flying a helicopter, and
making a nail-biting race for the border - all for the love of a very
special dog.
Shortlisted for the Branford Boase Award.
