Follow each one of our heroes to see what happens, how they are saved and what you can do to help them!

Duffy’s Lucky Escape will transport you to a tropical paradise where Duffy the Sea Turtle lives amongst beautiful coral reefs and colourful fish only for Duffy to learn that not all that floats is food. As time is running out Duffy has a lucky escape when kind people step in to save the day. Stunning artwork captures the imagination of young readers and brings to life a very real threat ocean plastics pose to our oceans.

Marli’s Tangled Tale takes you to the cool and green cliffs where Marli the Puffin lives with her soon to hatch egg until one day the excitement of the far away town visits in an unexpected way. As hope starts to fade her tangled tale takes a twist just in time for the surprise waiting for her back at home! It is an engaging story based on the true tale of a little puffin who becomes entangled in balloon litter.

Nelson’s Dangerous Dive goes deep underwater with Nelson the Whale where he discovers a hidden shipwreck and learns that what lurks below may not let you go. As he desperately signals for help, luck is on his side as a group of brave tourists give him the break he needs! It is an exciting story based on the true events after a humpback whale became entangled in ghost fishing nets.

Buddy’s Rainforest Rescue is a book which will inspire children to make changes in the world around them. It is the fourth book in the highly acclaimed Wild Tribe Heros series. This engaging story about the global problem of deforestation highlights to children the relationship between humans and wildlife and the dangers animals face in their own natural habitats. Stunning artwork captures the imagination of young readers and brings to life a very real threat to our forests.

The Wild Tribe Heroes books have received personal letters of congratulations from Sir David Attenborough and Prince Charles who are both extremely concerned about the issue of ocean plastics and are doing everything they can to help raise awareness.

Your order is for one of the three books, please make you selection from the dropdown box.
