A beautiful tale of the wonder of nature, with colour illustrations from the award-winning illustrator of I AM THE SEED THAT GREW THE TREE.
Nestled between the pink morning sky and the sparkling sea lies a small green island where our story begins . . .
Limpet Pebble is a true explorer. So when Tidepool, her little town nestled within a rockpool, organises a Young Explorers competition, Little Lim knows she must win! With the help of her best friend Kai, she sets out to find the most unique shell to submit and prove her worth as an explorer. But with only hours until sunset, Little Lim struggles to find the perfect one. That is until she reads the legend of a long-lost golden shell . . . Can Little Lim discover the truth behind the story in time to be crowned the best Young Explorer?
Beautiful and brimming with timeless magic, Little Lim and the Golden Treasure is a heartwarming adventure story about friendship, exploration and the wonders of nature. Warm, funny and guaranteed to make younger readers smile. An instant classic. Jennifer Bell, author of MAGICALIA
A lovely book to hold and a pleasure to read. The illustrations are just right, and the story is ideal for younger readers to enjoy. With just 92 pages and short chapters, this will neither discourage nor confuse readers in its suggested age range. Family and friendships are at the heart of this story, and both Lim and Kai are relatable and fun. The final few chapters provide both a satisfying and realistic ending, or as realistic as it can be in a fantasy location, which should also encourage class discussion. -- Tom Tolkien School Reading List
Beautiful, inspiring and wonderfully uplifting. -- Pam Norfolk Lancashire Evening Post
