The third hilarious adventure for Charlie McGuffin, the boy who changes into animals when he gets nervous.
Charlie McGuffin is an actual superhero. He's gained control over his wacky ability to change into animals - he's even able to use it to turn the tables on school bully Dylan.
But there are some things Charlie can't control, like the arguments his parents keep having (which are making him more worried than ever) or the mysterious animal disappearances spreading through town (which might be connected to Charlie himself).
Can Charlie unravel the mystery of the pet-nappings before his biggest secret is revealed to the world...?

—— Michelle , BCF Book ReviewsThe most original opening I've read in years and a plot twist that turns brilliantly
—— Abi Elphinstone, author of Sky SongThis is a terrific debut of strange myths and dark secrets, fierce loyalties and ruthless villains, told against the thrilling backdrop of a half submerged city.
—— The Bookseller – Editor's ChoiceCompellingly inventive and unpredictable, kept me guessing right till the end.
—— Piers Torday, author of The Last WildAbsolutely cracking! Great characters, with quite the nastiest villain I've met in a long while.
—— Fleur Hitchcock, author of The Boy Who FlewOutstanding and immersive . . . I devoured this in one go
—— book blogger Lily SugarPlum FaeryAn imaginative journey to a stunning fantasy world, full of twists and heart . . . an absolute corker . . . filled with swashbuckling adventure . . . an enthralling fantasy that moves through dark and grisly scenes of grave peril to positively touching moments of profound friendship. An incredibly imaginative narrative that fills its reader with wonder and thrills while also not being afraid to share quieter moments of real heart.
—— The Daily ExpressThere is a touch of Phillip Pullman about the world that Murray creates, and Murray matches Pullman lyrical prose [...] The comparison, however, should not take away from Murray's originality [...] the characters themselves, led by the plucky Ellie, anchor Orphans of the Tide in an urgent, human reality.
—— Irish TimesThe energetic steampunk vibe overlies a thoughtful fable about compassion and justice
