Full English translation available
Twelve-year-old Harry loves his island, Sky, where he lives in a caravan on a rock above the sea, surrounded by big sharks and seabirds. But Harry is getting tired of eating the grubby haggis his grandma makes every day and he misses his mother, who has been in Italy for over two years for dinosaur fossil research. One night, Harry witnesses members of an Italian mafia stealing a unique fossil from his island. Thinking of everything he was taught by his mom, he springs into action. Together with adventurous Sunny, he sets out to stop the fossil thieves. Will they succeed in saving the fossil? And will Harry’s mother ever return?
