If you love adventure, mystery and a little bit of magic, then this book is for you!
In the seaside village of Coral Cove lives a remarkable ten-year-old boy called Gabriel. His best friend is Platy, a clever platypus with a knack for solving puzzles.
Together they battle Tentaculus, a ginormous sea monster that is half Kraken and half Leviathan. They break out of an invisible cage with the help of the No No Bird. They sail through a storm to a forgotten island, climb mountains to find the Golden Phoenix, dive to an underwater cave, and travel around the world on the back of a blue whale.
You'll travel to forgotten islands, explore hidden caves and uncover long-lost treasures. There are riddles to solve along the way. Can you work them out before Gabriel does?
These stories were made up by a real boy called Gabriel, when he was ten. Every Friday evening he told a story and his mum wrote it down. He wanted other boys and girls to enjoy them too.

What readers say
A truly remarkable and unique book which has engaged my 8 year old and inspired him to start writing his own book. The puzzles add an extra element to the book, which when read at bedtime to younger children allow for discussion and guesses. The illustrations are beautiful.
I read this book with my eight year old daughter. We both loved Gabriel and Plattys adventures which were fun and exciting. A really uplifting book with fun, fantastic adventures and beautiful illustrations.
I have in my hands this beautiful book created by a 10 year old, a mum and a granddad. Children will love interacting with the stories and can use them as a springboard for their own adventures.
