Join author Tracey Corderoy and illustrator Steven Lenton in this action-packed, interactive event to wish the boys a happy birthday, then learn all about their brand-new adventure, Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam: Train Trouble. But beware, you might just get caught up in some gondola-racing through the streets of Venice!”

The seventh picture book in the series, Train Trouble, sees Shifty and Sam encounter a familiar feline foe…

When Shifty and Sam are asked to bake on board the Pawrient Express, travelling to Venice for Carnival night, they find themselves caught up in a robbery. A sneaky thief has stolen the posh passengers’ gems and she’s making her escape in a getaway gondola! The doggy detectives are hot on her tail, but can they unmask that kitty-cat criminal and save the day?

A brand-new instalment of the smash-hit rhyming picture book series featuring Kitty Le Claw, the fabulously mischievous villain in Shifty McGifty and Slippery Sam: The Cat Burglar.

Train Trouble is out now. Grab your copy here or, better, via your local bookshop or Bookshop.org.
