Tom, age 8, says: “It’s really intriguing because you always want to know what happens next. I adore this book because it’s action packed and it’s great to read in class or as a bedtime story because there are so many cliff-hangers that leave the children desperate to find out what happens. Together Tim, Grk and one of the boys set out to bring the Pelotti’s to justice. After being kidnapped by some street children from a favela in Rio de Janeiro, they come across Brazil’s most wanted criminals – the Pelotti Gang. In this particular Grk adventure, the small, white dog and his owner Tim find themselves in Brazil. The Grk books all take place in different countries and help readers get a good understanding of each countries geography and culture as a backdrop to exciting narrative. It’s a great class read for lower KS2 children to go alongside a topic about Brazil or rainforests. First published in 2006, I have been using this book in class on and off for the last 10 years or so.
