The second in the hilarious series from Roald Dahl Funny Prize winning
author Philip Ardagh and illustrator of The Gruffalo, Axel Scheffler.
Mr Grunt's a man with a mission. He has to get a Person of Great
Importance (or POGI) to someone called Mrs Bayliss by the twenty-fifth.
Alive and well. And he can't tell anyone more than that, not even his
lovely wife, Mrs Grunt, because there will be people trying to snatch
the POGI and so the POGI must be transported in secret.
It's an exciting adventure, but what interests Mr Grunt most are the
silver coins he's been promised at the end of it. The Grunts' stolen
son, Sunny, has a few questions. Who is the big-earringed cyclist? Why
does the POGI have to wear a barrel all the time? Is Rodders Lasenby a
lovely person or simply the rudest man on the planet? And how long will
it be before they find themselves all at sea?
