Oliver and the Seawigs x 30 Award-winning team Pack by Philip Reeve (author) and Sarah McIntyre (illustrator)

Oliver has lost his parents, but fortunately they’re not dead; he’s simply mislaid them. They are explorers, and they’ve vanished while exploring a strange set of islands: the Rambling Islands. (Which have also disappeared, except for one.) So Oliver sets off to search for his parents, along with his new friends – a grumpy old albatross, a short-sighted mermaid and a friendly island called Cliff. But before Oliver can put his rescue plan into action, there’s the evil Stacey de Lacey to deal with. Not to mention the sea monsters. Or the green, greasy sea monkeys…

By the dynamic duo of Philip Reeve and Sarah McIntyre

Hilarious young fiction bursting with action and laughter

Philip is the bestselling author of the Mortal Engines books

Sarah McIntyre’s illustrations are full of verve and energy

“Nautical hairdressing, saltwater primates and sarcastic seaweed – this is my kind of book!” Chris Riddell

Sarah McIntyre

Sarah McIntyre was born in Seattle. She studied Russian literature and art history at Bryn Mawr College and then earned a distinction while doing her Master’s degree in Illustration at Camberwell College of the Arts in London. She brings her love of travel and adventure to her work, and loves the thrill of being a perpetual tourist in London, where she has lived since 1999.

It was whilst studying for her MA that Sarah became interested in comics.‘I had loved comics as a kid, such as Calvin & Hobbes and Archie, but I had sort of lost my way as an adult, thinking comics were mostly about superheroes, which I didn’t like so much. When I was introduced to adult comics by people such as Posy Simmonds and Craig Thompson, I knew I had found a whole new world.’ Read more
