Description

***2022 BRUNEAU FAMILY CHILDREN'S/YOUNG ADULT AWARD, NL BOOK AWARDS – FINALIST***

When the dog’s away, the mice go on an adventure!

Errol is off on another adventure! With his new-found friend Gus, Errol travels to Twillingate to help search for Gus’s father. In the course of his search, he finds treasures on the beach, almost floats away with the icebergs, and visits the Long Point Lighthouse. There he meets Olivia and her family, who help him on his quest, showing him around and hunting for clues. But time is running out; they have to head home to Beachy Cove—and there’s still no sign of Gus’s dad!

About the Authors

Sheilah Lukins has written three non-fiction books for adults and two children’s books. The first book in her “Errol’s Adventure” series, Full Speed Ahead: Errol’s Bell Island Adventure, won the 2018 Bruneau Family Children’s/Young Adult Award and its follow-up Flying Ace: Errol’s Gander Adventure was longlisted for the award in 2020. Having travelled the world and had many adventures of her own, the author believes that the most important part of an adventure is who you meet, how you can help, and what you can learn from it all. A lover of history, horses, dogs, good food, and great stories, she lives and writes in St. Philips, Newfoundland with her husband and several garden mice.


Laurel Keating is a self-taught and award-winning artist whose illustration work has appeared in several children's books: Yaffle's Journey, Elliot and the Impossible Fish, Moose's Roof, and Full Speed Ahead: Errol’s Bell Island Adventure, to name a few.  A native Newfoundlander and animal lover, she lives in Portugal Cove, which she has called home all her life.
