Description:

A gloriously imaginative celebration of books, courage and the magic of reading. Olive is a shy little girl from a seafaring family who far prefers reading about adventures to having them — her favourite thing in the world is a bedtime story read aloud by her dad. But one night a curious creature from the deep slips in through the window and pinches her beloved book… then all the books in the whole town! Suddenly, timid Olive is swept into a real adventure of her own as she sets off to track down the mysterious thief. And when she finds him, she discovers he doesn't even know what to do with the stories he's stolen — so brave Olive teaches him the true joy of reading and sharing. Graham Carter's bold, glowing illustrations brim with detail and delight on every spread.
