Mink doesn’t believe in rules. She loves running wild and free. So, when a zebra appears in the square where she lives and she finds out that his parents have been captured by the evil Mr Spit, she knows that it’s up to her to help.

So begins a grand adventure to rescue a whole menagerie of animals – an adventure that will take all of Mink’s courage and determination.

Written with generous helpings of warmth and humour, this is a timeless book about bravery, friendship and the importance of taking action.

This modern classic from bestselling children's author Katherine Rundell is an unmissable treat.

Critics Review

Joyously anarchic in both word and illustration, sizzling with imagination and colour
Guardian
An intoxicating adventure
Observer Picture Books of the Month
Fizzing with anarchic energy, this beautifully illustrated escapade is a romp from start to finish
Daily Mail
Rundell and Ogilvie have more than earned their stripes as a duo with this pacy zebra caper
The Times
A delightful modern-day classic with a strong-willed and determined young girl whose passion for fighting for what is right is something all readers can aspire to
Books for Keeps
Rundell has identified a need in the children’s books market: longer, wordier picture books for five to seven-year-olds that have the large pages and beautiful pictures of titles for younger children but with more challenging language, a meatier story and some very fruity baddies
Times Children's Book of the Week
Utterly engaging
Sunday Times
The year’s most magnificent adventure
Guardian - Best Children's Books of the Year
A writer with an utterly distinctive voice and wild imagination
Philip Pullman
One of our most talented writers for children
Observer
Rundell’s playful style is paired with the bright, bustling drawings of Ogilvie to tell an intoxicating adventure.
The Guardian
