Tulip and Max were famous at their school, for two reasons: 1. They were fearless adventurers. 2. They went everywhere with a curiously quirky companion - a rock called Susan! Tulip, Max and Susan loved creating coded messages, unearthing precious treasures and practising their hide-and-seek skills on Tunnel Mountain. When Max and Susan head away on holiday, Tulip and her dad go on an expedition to the jungle. What will Tulip discover there ... could it be her lost friend Doug? Another spud-tacular story from this talented duo.

About the illustrator:
Carla Martell is an illustrator and designer based in Auckland. All those years getting in trouble for doodling in class (usually animals with hats on) eventually paid off, as she is now illustrating children’s books, designing for animation and dreaming up new multimedia projects. Most of Carla’s illustrations are drawn by hand (often in pen and ink) then digitally combined with handmade textures and typography. She’s a big fan of printmaking, writing words that go with pictures and turning her hand to making images move. She is also a licensed artist, creating designs for products such as gift wrap, greeting cards, wall art and homewares
