A hilarious time-travel adventure about mega-mischief, misbehaving grandparents, and one very naughty dog… Pranksters Frankie Fish and Drew Bird have got hold of Grandad’s time machine, but it’s no laughing matter. Grandad and Nanna have disappeared to 17th century China, and it’s up to Frankie and Drew to save them!  With the help of a mysterious new friend, the boys must overcome armed guards, giant dragons and one GIANT wall to get to the Emperor’s secret prison. But even if they can get inside, how will they break Grandad and Nanna out – and get them home again?
Frankie Fish & the Sonic Suitcase is full of the kind of kind-hearted hilarity that has made its author an Australian legend. A smart, funny, cheeky, time-bending adventure.’ –Tim Minchin, creator of Matilda: The Musical.

'Frankie Fish and the Sonic Suitcase was full of laughs from the get-go, with delights sprinkled through for the adults too. The boys loved Frankie Fish right from the beginning and so did I!' –Holly Bidwell, reviewer
