The Tindims and the Floating Moon

Description

The tiny Tindims are like the Borrowers-on-Sea, who turn our everyday rubbish into treasure. Mother-and-daughter duo, prizewinning Sally Gardner and Lydia Corry, create a fun new world of characters and adventures in their empowering new series for 5-8 year olds inspiring conservation and inventive ways to recycle. In their fourth adventure, the Tindims can hardly see each other! A grumpy Gupper fog is swirling all over Rubbish Island and it won't leave the Tindims alone. And now their world has turned upside down as Ethel B Dina thinks the moon has fallen into the sea! Scrunch me a teabag, how are they going to get out of this pickle? Printed in dyslexia-friendly font with pictures on every page and perfect for the reluctant reader, the Tindims show keen young ecologists how to help protect our planet for the future.

Mother-daughter duo, Sally Gardner and Lydia Corry are keen conservationists. Aware of our plastic problem, they came up with the idea of the Tindims on seaside strolls. Sally is a Costa and Carnegie-winning author whose books have sold over two million copies worldwide. Lydia's debut illustrated gift book, Eight Princesses and a Magic Mirror, was Guardian Best Book of 2019 and published by Zephyr.
