From the creator and presenter of Taskmaster comes a beautifully told story of a young boy’s connection with his grandpa – and a mystery that may come between them.

"Charming and funny and uplifting. I loved it." Greg James

"As delightful as a bucket full of beachcombed treasures." Thomas Taylor

The Last Pebble follows Trader and his grandpa as they comb the beach of Bognor Regis, a tradition as long as Trader can remember. Every beautiful or special stone they find is added to their treasure collection. However, when Trader discovers a particularly special pebble, he uncovers a secret meant to be kept forever.

Can Trader and his new friend Charlotte unravel the mystery of this treasure, and return it to its rightful home?
