THREE BOOKS. THREE AMAZON BESTSELLERS.
A world built on Friday evenings, one hour at a time.
The Adventures of Gabriel began with a ten-year-old boy, his mother, a cuddly toy platypus and one weekly FaceTime call.
It became a trilogy that invites children to imagine, explore and become the heroes of their own stories.
One hour a week became a world of adventure.
When Gabriel was ten, he and his mother, Kate, had a cuddly toy platypus, a FaceTime call and one hour together each week.
During those calls, they began creating stories, taking turns to imagine the characters, challenges and adventures.
Those shared moments became The Adventures of Gabriel, a trilogy created to help children imagine freely, build confidence and discover the hero within themselves.

A story collection created to spark children’s imaginations and make reading feel like an adventure.

The Shadow of Zuff
The world grows as large as Gabriel needs it to.
The adventure continues in one complete novel that is longer, richer and more challenging than Book 1.
Platy can speak now, bringing a new voice, plenty of opinions and occasional chaos to every situation.
From Coral Cove to the Gobi Desert, the Pacific and the mysterious Land of the Dodo, Gabriel and Platy must protect
Hope, a seemingly lost dodo, from the powerful Professor Zuff.
BOOK THREE | AMAZON NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER
The Thunderbolt of Hindustan
The world reaches further than Coral Cove.
A mysterious message appears in Urdu and English:
Find the girl. Set her free.
Gabriel travels through a portal to India with Jack by his side, while Platy begins a separate journey to Australia.
From the ancient city of Taxila to the Himalayan foothills, Gabriel faces riddles, secret missions and difficult choices as he learns to trust his own judgement and find Asha, the girl trapped inside a painted prison.
Thirteen chapters, additional Coral Cove stories and one unforgettable journey.
MEET THE CHARACTERS
The world Gabriel built.
Every character in these books exists because Gabriel imagined them. Each one brings something different to the adventures of Coral Cove.
Platy
The courageous platypus
Gabriel’s favourite cuddly toy became the loyal sidekick who crosses oceans. He may feel afraid, but he goes anyway.
Captain Ali
The leader who listens
Captain Ali listens before she speaks and waits for the real answer. At the end of every book, she invites children to become the heroes of their own stories.
Jack
The three-legged guardian cat
Three legs, no tail and complete confidence. Jack travels through hidden portals, mountain passes and ancient cities while quietly guarding secrets of his own..
Tentaculus
The fear
Tentaculus is not simply a villain. It represents the fear every child must name and face before the story can truly become their own.
FUTURE TRILOGY ROADMAP

Gabriel’s world was never created to end on one story.
