Jasper and Scruff: Hunt for the Golden Bone



When Jasper and Scruff find a treasure map in an old book, they set off in search of buried gold. But before long they cross paths with their old enemies, the Sophisticats…

Smart kitty. Mucky pup. Here comes trouble...

As Jasper and Scruff prepare for a day in their new bookshop, a mysterious package is delivered, containing a rare book written by the great seafaring cat herself, Black Whiskers. Inside, they discover a treasure map, and together the friends set out on a quest to find the legendary golden bone. But little do they realize that their old enemies, the Sophisticats, might have a paw in things…

A laugh-out-loud tale of friendship with colour illustrations, perfect for new readers moving on from picture books, and fans of CLAUDE, RABBIT AND BEAR, DIXIE O'DAY, SQUISHY MCFLUFF and COWBOY PUG.

"Adorable illustrations, snappy dialogue and outrageous puns make it the cat’s pyjamas" – Guardian
