As a reluctant hero, Herbie is amusing and relatable yet his curiosity and devotion to returning lost things means he truly cannot resist the adventures he is dragged along on.

Taylor’s writing is immediately engaging, whimsical and atmospheric – Herbie’s narrative perspective is perfect for the type of stories being told. So Malamander is the first book in the Eerie-On-Sea series and it was a delightful start! Thomas Taylor is clearly a fantasy lover and this shines through in his prose and story telling. But when a young ‘Lost’ girl shows up asking for Herbie to help the two end up wrapped in the mystery of the Malamander.

Malamander, by Thomas Taylor: Lost-and-Founder Herbie Lemon works at the Grand Nautilus Hotel finding and returning lost things to its visitors.
