A fantastical adventure set deep in the bowels of the Earth in another world, the world of the ancient and long-lived Snurdles, the magical Norwegian Forest Cats, fearsome fire spiders and the six-legged Alogosei.
Driven into the wilderness of the high Himalayas by humans, the Snurdles are sought out by King Machitis of Atlantis and taken to that fabled isle to utilise their abilities.
Barely escaping Atlantis sinking into the ocean, they undertake an epic and dangerous journey across the sea and Antarctica where they almost perish, until they find an entrance to their hidden world.
Since that ancient time the Snurdles have secretly helped humanity with their love and intelligence, trying to save our world so that theirs survives too. They search for children with the potential to save it, all the while preserving literature, art, knowledge and culture in their vast caverns underground.
This is a story for all children who worry about the future. There is no need. They are never far from a Snurdle.
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
You're never too old for a fun, clever and just fantastical book. The story starts at the Natural History Museum and honestly if I had read this as a kid I would be hunting for the Snurdle entrance or at least dragging my parents along to find them. I love that the kids are from Colchester and just how magical the Snurdle world is, also I learnt so much from this book it's insane. You can tell the authors love myths and history and they're really good at expressing that in a fun way. I've already bought another copy to give to my niece, this is definitely a book you don't want to miss!
This is such a lovely children's book! My son and I have thoroughly enjoyed reading through the story and we so loved the bittersweet ending. Definitely a book I would recommend to anyone with children.
