Up until now he's been bored stiff, as the only boy living in the tiny Welsh town of Manod, with only his chickens for company. Until one day, he spots a mysterious convoy of lorries heading straight for the disused mines. They're carrying a very precious cargo and when Dylan decides to investigate, he is quickly thrown headlong into the greatest art heist in history . . . probably. A laugh-out-loud story about a very unlikely crime, shortlisted for the CILIP Carnegie medal and the Blue Peter Book Award. 'Ingeniously comic' - Independent
