Tom and Who

Tom is a lively nine-year old whose mother has had a new baby. A car accident puts Tom's father into the same hospital, so Tom goes to stay with Grandma in a quiet village near the sea. He makes friends with Harry and the twins, Jack and Samantha. The children are upset when pets start to disappear. When some puppies and kittens reappear as stuffed toys, the friends decide to act. This involves them in frightening adventures. They find most of the missing animals on a small island you can walk to when the tide is out. With great courage, the children outwit the island’s guards and ferry the animals safely back across the incoming tide on an old sea tractor. They are on the right track. Just a few more pets to find. But Harry disappears on the way home! The police find his bicycle miles away at a railway station and think he has run away, but Tom and the others are convinced that Harry has been kidnapped by the bad guys. Will they find him and the rest of the pets? And who is helping them? Amazing adventures follow, including mayhem at the airport.
