Grk: Operation Tortoise by Joshua Doder
Fourth book in the Grk series
This book was about Tim and Grk who go on a holiday in the Seychelles. On Tim's first trip to the beach he finds a washed up man, half dead but still able to talk. Tim quickly alerts the police who finds two doctors on holiday. They rush to his aid but it is too late. Tim then goes on another small island with his parents to have a picnic. He then takes the boat to an island where he thinks the man has come from. I liked this book but not as much as the last Grks I have read. I am giving it 6/10.

This is the fourth of the Grk tales that I have read. It is intersting that the authors style has changed considerably. He seems to spend less time explaining to the reader what subjects or issues are and it is less in the style of someone reading the story and more just a plain story. That aside I enjoyed the story and found the fantasy in the plot fun. As I think I have said before these stories are for younger readers however the plot is good and the evil enemy is as good as any thought up by Ian Flemming, Charlie Higgson or Anthony Horowitz for that matter. I give this book a 5 out of 10
