Uncle Pete and the Polar Bear Rescue
By (author) David C. Flanagan and (illustrator) Will Hughes
The next exciting adventure for Uncle Pete and TM sees them prepare for an Arctic expedition to get Berg, the little polar bear, back to his family. Gathering together their snow gear, they fit skis on the plane and head north with Berg. When they arrive where the family were last seen, the snow has melted and there is no sign of the bears. A passing whale tells the team they have been captured and taken off in a very sinister looking black ship. There is excitement aplenty, with wooden squirrel helicopters, tunnels, bears in disguises, evil animal hunters and a daring rescue. And so, the third quest for Uncle Pete and TM begins. The third title in the thrilling magical, fantasy adventure series for six- to nine year- olds. Written by award-winning writer and journalist David C Flanagan, featuring line drawings and illustrations by Will Hughes, with his quirky Quentin Blake-like style. This hilarious new adventure takes Uncle Pete and his fearless female sidekick, TM, on an incredible Arctic adventure, with themes of determination, collaboration, ingenuity, kindness and acceptance.
David C. Flanagan
David C. Flanagan is a writer and award-winning journalist based in the Orkney Islands. Born, raised and educated in Edinburgh, he studied journalism in the city before returning to his ancestral home in Orkney, where he worked as a reporter on the local weekly newspaper, The Orcadian. He’s been freelance since 2002, providing news, features and content for a variety of publications and websites. David also acts as location manager for film and television crews operating in Orkney. His first book, Board, was published by Fledgling Press in 2015 and recounted his hapless attempts to learn to surf in middle age on the wild Atlantic coast of Orkney. He still surfs, badly, and also loves skateboarding, fitness training and walking in the Scottish mountains. The Uncle Pete series of books is David’s first series for children, reflecting his passion for adventure stories, his love of animals, and his slightly wacky sense of humour.
