Felix Featherstone has anger issues, is isolated at school, and has a dysfunctional relationship with his father. He is also a 'Sagacitor'. In other words, he has lived on this planet many times before - as have Jermaine and Edith from his class. Not that he knows it. Not until he receives a note in his exercise book, that is, inviting him to go to Hollow Island - the most beautiful place he will probably ever see. But what is really going on in this 'beautiful place' is for you to guess and for him to find out.

About the author:
A schoolteacher for many years, it was this experience combined with an understanding of the issues facing young people, which inspired Robert to write a book for children. He came late to acting at the age of 39 when he took a show to the Edinburgh Fringe. As luck would have it, Alan Rickman was in the audience and afterwards offered him the part of Rosencrantz in his forthcoming production of Hamlet. In 2013, Robert and his brother wrote a play, Jeeves and Wooster in Perfect Nonsense, that won the 2014 Oliver Award for Best Comedy. Writing under the pseudonym Daniel Turnpike, Felix and the Way of the Wolveraffes is his first novel.
