With the help of some ingenious squirrels, a kindly dolphin and a friend from the past their new adventure takes them to the strange and foreboding forest of lost things.

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 the islands 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 whacky sense of humour.
