| book description |

Forget heroes, meet Shady the sneaky squirrel thief and his relentless rivals! A hilarious, highly illustrated, black-and-white crime caper for readers of 6+ by Nick East, illustrator of Toto the Ninja Cat. While normal squirrels are out stashing nuts for winter, Shady loves collecting treasure. The shiny kind. The kind that belongs to someone else. Yes, Shady is a shameless crook, and that's exactly how he's landed back in Badun Island Prison. There's only one way out... escape! Unfortunately, tortoise crime boss Naughty Tortie wants Shady for her latest job: stealing the Golden Acorn of Destiny from Big City Bank. And Shady can't refuse. Reunited with his old partner in crime, Roxy 'the Paws' the raccoon - and a series of criminal critters who may be heroes or rivals - Shady is off on the mega-heist of his career... But will he actually get his paws on the loot? Starring a squirrel supervillain and a hilarious cast of unexpected animal crimelords... The perfect read for fans of Toto the Ninja Cat, Bad Guys, The Terrible Trio and Grimwood, with the anarchic energy of Dog Man and Bunny vs Monkey. Packed with Nick East's stunning illustrations throughout in black and white.
