The Tindims of Rubbish Island and the Spooky Secret cover

Turning our everyday rubbish into treasure, the tiny Tindims are back for a spooktacular Halloween adventure!

The tiny Tindims are like the Borrowers-on-Sea, who turn our everyday rubbish into treasure. A world of characters and adventures to inspire conservation and inventive ways to recycle.

Halloween has nearly arrived, but a young witch is in a pickle. She has cast a spell and shrunk herself by mistake! When a gust of wind blows her out to sea, her best friend, a little ghost, goes with her. They find themselves landing on Rubbish Island where the Tindims haven't met witches or ghosts before, and the witch and ghost didn't know the Tindims even existed.

But Skittle, Brew, Pinch and the gang are soon helping their spooky new friends get back to the right size and home in time for their Halloween parade. And the Tindims give us their tips on how to celebrate Halloween the right way.

Printed in dyslexia-friendly font with pictures on every page and perfect for the reluctant reader, the Tindims of Rubbish Island is an empowering series for 5-8 year olds inspiring conservation and inventive ways to recycle.
