A Dog Called Grk

When Tim is followed home by a dog on the street, he's determined to find out who the friendly stray belongs to. But with a little investigating, Tim discovers that Grk's owners don't live in his town, or even in his country. Max and Natascha Raffifi, Grk's owners, have been kidnapped with their ambassador parents by the evil Colonel Zinfandel and taken to a prison in Eastern Europe! Tim knows he's about to undertake a mission his parents wouldn't exactly approve of. He sneaks out of the house in the middle of the night with Grk, catches a taxi to the airport, then hops a plane to Stanislavia. Together he and Grk will have to break into a high-security prison, pilot a helicopter, and make a nail-biting run for the border in this high-octane, international adventure.

When he discovers that the owners of the friendly stray dog, Grk, have been kidnapped by evil Colonel Zinfandel and taken away to a prison in Eastern Europe, Tim feels obliged to help and, with Grk by his side, begins a perilous adventure to the other side of the world!

A British schoolboy finds adventure when he travels to a dangerous foreign country to return a small dog to its rightful owner.
