But when they return, their baby is missing, and a horrific attack has taken place. What has happened and who will pay the price?

Particularly suitable for readers aged 11+ with a reading age of 6.

"An involving work of super-short fiction that re-tells the tragic story of Gelert, the loyal royal dog of Welsh folklore … re-tellings of legends have rarely been so accessible and arresting." — LoveReading4Kids

"Older children and reluctant teens, who are seriously struggling with their reading, will love … quick, gripping and age-appropriate books which fill a crucial gap for EAL (English as an additional language) learners … designed to build confidence in independent reading." — Lancashire Post

"Exactly what Upper Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 teachers have been looking for … I was immediately struck by the strong yellow page tiny, wide spacing and minimal text on each page. The vocabulary is very readable yet incredibly atmospheric. Repetition and short sentences reinforce reading skills and build the story … No one needs to be excluded from reading stories with challenging ideas, thrilling themes and exciting characters." — Scope for Imagination, blog
