TWO BOOKS IN ONE... Read the Booksurfers adventure and follow it up with the story the gang have been exploring.

Jake, Becca, Ryan and Harriet are kidnapped by Dr Crookshanks and his accomplice, Professor Kaufman. Against their will, the Booksurfers have to jump 'into' the world's best known adventure stories to steal important artefacts, using an incredible invention called the Nautilus. If they don't get what Crookshanks wants, what will he do to their parents? And what will Becca do without her dad's credit card?

The Booksurfers are plunged into the freezing streets of Victorian London at Christmas, and are under strict instructions to steal Scrooge's gruel bowl and Tiny Tim's crutch for Crookshanks' weird and ever-expanding collection. Kaufman and Crookshanks seem determined to kill each other off in the cruellest and most evil ways possible, while Jake and the gang are struggling to find a way out of Crookshanks' cave to rescue their parents. Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without presents, snow, a brawl in a Dickensian workhouse, a sprinkling of a few ghosts and, of course, a fight with a giant squid...

Ever wondered what it would be like to not just read a book, but actually experience it? Throughout these books you'll find something rather ingenious: hyperlinks. They're pretty easy to spot; look out for an underlined word or phrase or sentence. And whenever you see one, you can just click on it, and - KA-POW! - you'll be zipped into the actual book the Booksurfers are jumping into at the exact point they are discovering it! Have fun tagging along; you never know what story you'll end up in next..
