Opie Jones 2 — Nat Luurtsema

Dr Dolittle meets Kid Normal in a hilarious middle grade superhero series that tells you what your pets are really thinking, from Bafta-nominated comedian Nat Luurtsema

In her second hilarious adventure, animal mindreader Opie Jones is off to Scotland to join her dad on the set of his Scottish medical TV show, Highland Docs, accompanied by friends Jackson and Cillian, as well as Margot, the cat with attitude, and Opie's super-keen new sidekick, Slug (an actual slug).

But before they get the chance to try out their acting skills, dastardly villain Varling and his band of brainwashers are back with an evil new plan! Can Opie and the gang (plus a showbiz pig) save the day?

Perfect for 8+ fans of Charlie Changes into a Chicken, My Brother is a Superhero, Frank Cottrell Boyce and David Baddiel
