This is the first in a series of exciting new children’s adventure novels by author Steve Keeping. The main character ‘Chubbly’ a short slightly overweight thirteen year old intellectual schoolboy.
Chubbly and granddad Curly design, plan and construct the Flyer inside Chubbly's dad's garden shed, using all sorts of old bits and bobs to build the individual little bi-plane, powered by an old salvaged Briggs & Stratton lawn mower engine and driven by an old wooden propeller wall clock, which before had taken pride above grandad Curly's fireplace! Chubbly will go on to pilot the Flyer to many different places around the World, new adventures, discovering new countries and cultures, whilst uncovering all kinds of exciting hidden secrets.
His very first adventure takes Chubbly to Oban in the Highlands of Scotland where he meets two new friends Mac and Aggie McDougal, after spending the night with them in their log cabin close to the airport they guide Chubbly in the direction of Loch Ness to uncover an old buried map, drawn and then hidden by Mac and his friends over 50 years ago, showing Chubbly the exact spot needed to catch a glimpse of the legendary Loch Ness monster.
