Description: Resourceful and entertaining, Flotsam and Jetsam are the Borrowers of the seashore. A tiny beach...An upturned boat...A whisper of smoke...When Flotsam and Jetsam are washed ashore, they soon become the best of friends. Every day brings a new adventure for the tiny pair. Join them as they battle a spiteful seagull, build a new home and rescue a very shy hermit crab. This is an inventive, funny series featuring characters made out of driftwood who live on a treasure-laden beach. Racing Reads are pacy and engaging first novels for the newly-independent reader. Each book is extensively illustrated and the story-per-chapter structure is ideal for building reading confidence.
