Publisher's Synopsis

 

A charming action-packed adventure across the Atlantic from acclaimed author Holly Rivers!

'Energetic, lively and charming' READING ZONE

Siblings Orinthia and Séafra Shalloo accept a summer job from eccentric Grandy, who has collected a menagerie of furry and feathered posties known as animails.

The children are especially fond of Geronimo, a homing pelican. But when the big bird fails to return from a delivery, Taber - the youngest sibling - is devastated; so much so, he mails himself to New York, where Geronimo was sent.

Orinthia and Séafra follow suit, stealing a precious stamp and hopping in a freight crate - and soon all are embarked on an extraordinarily daring first-class adventure …

  • A warm, adventurous and action-packed story from acclaimed author Holly Rivers, author of Demelza & the Spectre Detectors
  • A brillantly-imagined fantasy world with a vintage feel and a trio of characters you'll long to be friends with
  • As a child, Holly was a lead actress in ITV's original Worst Witch series!
  • Perfect for fans of M.G. Leonard and Sam Sedgman's Adventures on Trains series
