With a look of surprise on his face, Obi watched the creek. On the other side of it there was an animal he had never seen before. It had light brown fur with white stripes and looked a bit like a brown watermelon on small feet. Obi saw how it picked something up from the ground and threw it over to him. “This animal is definitely not a dog”, he thought.

When new neighbours arrive and come live next to Obi, a great adventure is about to unfold. An adventure involving a captain, wild animals, exceptional friendships, rescue missions and a secret will.

When Mathilda is not exploring, she writes about her adventures. And if these adventures aren’t adventurous enough, she just invents new stories. Georgien Overwater has illustrated numerous books for both Dutch and foreign publishers. In addition, she has made illustrations and cartoons for television, including Sesame Street.
