Let Sleeping Hedgehogs Spy

Set in a parallel world populated by hedgehogs, "Let Sleeping Hedgehogs Spy" is an exciting, witty adventure story for 8-11 year olds, packed with 84 delightful black and white illustrations. The story opens as Snipper is setting off for a skiing holiday with his friends; but a sinister plot is afoot and their holiday is soon disrupted when Snipper finds himself pitted against a criminal mastermind known only as Mr E. Snipper is soon on the tail of Mr E but, along the way, he must protect his friends, hide his identity and decide once and for all whether the hedgehog in blue is friend or foe. Perhaps she is nothing to do with Mr E - just a stranger whose book he picked up for her - but a book may contain a code or a secret message... Snipper's journey takes him from the beautiful but dangerous snow-covered slopes of the Altispine mountains; through the Needlelands where Van Hogloot - a criminal banker with international connections - has his home in a converted windmill; to Icepeak, a remote and starkly beautiful island where Snipper finally comes face-to-face with the mysterious Mr E, himself.
