Max and Chaffy: Welcome to Animal Island

The Boggle family has just arrived on Animal Island, and Max can’t wait to find out all there is to discover!

Max Boggle loves finding things. He loves putting them back where they belong even better! When Orlando the pilot mentions a mysterious creature that he’s spotted in the woods, Max can’t wait to find out more. Armed with his curiosity and three clues in his notebook, Max discovers the elusive Chaffy.

From bestselling author Jamie Smart comes another vibrant, highly visual graphic novel about discovering new things, making friends, and returning what’s been lost to its rightful owner.

This graphic novel for kids features:
  • Content written by bestselling author of Bunny Vs Monkey, Jamie Smart, who has exceeded 1 million lifetime sales.
  • The perfect introduction to independent reading, with warm, lovable characters and an adventure centered around friendship and fun.
  • Search and find pages included in addition to the story to keep kids engaged and interacting.
Each hilarious Max and Chaffy story is interspersed with engaging search and find pages, since Chaffy has a habit of getting lost, as well as items that aren’t where they should be! Continue their adventures and help search for Crumbles' special strawberry cupcake in Max and Chaffy: The Great Cupcake Mystery, or explore ice caves in the Search for the Ice Chaffy.
Jamie Smart was named Illustrator of the Year at the British Book Awards 2024, Best Laugh Out Loud Illustrator of the Year at the Lollies Awards 2024, and won Illustrated Children's Book of the Year for Bunny vs Monkey: Multiverse Mix-Up. He studied art at college for four years, but it was just an excuse to practice drawing animals with goggly-eyes. His comic Fish-Head Steve was the first comic to be shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize. Jamie has illustrated comics for The Sunday Times, the Dandy, and the Beano, and is also the creator of the Max and Chaffy comic series for younger readers, and the illustrated middle-grade Flember series.
