Nigel (a hawksbill turtle) thinks he’s the last Nigel on Earth – and he is enjoying it! That is, until New Nigel arrives...

One of 10 titles not to miss in July – The Bookseller

All Nigel's friends look after him very carefully – he is the last Nigel on Earth, after all. Feeding him grapes, fanning him with leaves... the pampering is endless.

But when New Nigel arrives, the illusion is shattered. Nigel's friends won’t pamper him any more.

Nigel comes up with a trick to get rid of New Nigel and go back to his old life... but will he discover that new friends aren’t such a bad thing after all?

A hilarious new picture book with bright and characterful illustrations by Scott Wilson.

  • Stunning artwork by rising star illustrator Scott Wilson

  • Gorgeous, sunny desert island setting – perfect for summer holidays!
  • Gentle animal conservation message – all the Nigels in the story are endangered animals
