by Nick Maland (Author), Katherine Cave (Author)
The greep and the grork are very different, but they are still the best of friends. The greep is brave and never scared, while the grork is shy and easily frightened. Together they set off on a journey, and the grork learns to confront his fear with a little bit of help from his friend.
Praise for Kate Cave and Nick Maland's previous book: The Boy Who Became an Eagle
'Cave's prose is as spare as winter and has a restrained icy beauty while it niggles away at ideas about freedom and the need for a home. Maland's brilliant, detailed drawings conjure up a sense of both claustrophobia and wide open spaces where the imagination can soar.' (The Guardian 31.1.01)
