EL - OPTIONAL

Charlie Small is a 400-year-old guy in an 8-year-old’s body. One day he left home and still has been able to make it back. On this latest adventure, he finds himself saved by a Mr. Jakeman in a submarine shaped like a whale, gets kidnapped by a puppet master, and gets himself into a real mess that will take every ounce of bravery, cleverness, and creativity that he has in order to get out of it. Will he be able to defeat the Puppet Master or will he remain a puppet forever? Will his old pirate nemesis finally succeed in capturing Charlie and getting his revenge?

A great adventure filled with mystery, friendship, and even a little bit of humor. Great book for those who love adventure and fantasy and/or have enjoyed such books as Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney.
