Uncle Pete's plane is missing, AGAIN! It's been shot down by evil wildlife hunters and has sunk deep into the cold Arctic sea. That means Uncle Pete and TM will have to go and find it, fix it and bring it home. But how? By Squirrel Submarine, of course! But wait! The crew of the Squirrel Submarine are having a well-earned rest at the NutLand Holiday Park after their last adventure, which means Uncle Pete and TM will have to drive the submarine themselves. How hard can it be? Pretty hard, as it turns out! Uncle Pete and TM get themselves into all kinds of crazy underwater adventures and dilemmas as they search the deep for their plane. MEANWHILE, the lost plane has been discovered at the bottom of the ocean by a clever and curious octopus who decides to fix it and use it to explore his world, helping other sea creatures along the way.
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 Orkney, 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 middleage 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 wacky sense of humour.
