Séafra edged forward, looking equally confused. ‘Maybe we followed the wrong path?’ he suggested. ‘Or made a mistake with the address?’.
About the book
A charming action-packed adventure across the Atlantic from acclaimed author Holly Rivers!
Siblings Orinthia and Séafra Shalloo accept a summer job from eccentric Grandy, who has collected a menagerie of furry and feathered posties known as animails.

Orinthia and Séafra follow suit, stealing a precious stamp and hopping in a freight crate – and soon all are embarked on an extraordinarily daring first-class adventure …
