  • The Othernauts

    £7.99

    Meet Phoebe. She’s eleven years old and desperate to escape the boring island where she lives. Enter the Argonauts – a crew of so-called heroes on a quest to grab the golden fleece. Before Phoebe can think better of it, she boards the ship and stows away on the Argo. But the Argonauts have their work cut out. From attacking harpies to deadly whirlpools, giant sea monsters to skeleton armies, there is peril at every turn. Fortunately the Othernauts are on hand – though with Phoebe’s unhelpful prophecies, Perry’s unreliable shape-shifting skills and Cora the siren’s headache-inducing singing, it’s not quite clear exactly how much help these kids will be. Do the Othernauts have what it takes to get the Argo and its motley crew back to safety in one piece?
