Through Syd's eyes, readers experience the tender bond between grandparent and grandchild, as well as the profound impact of saying goodbye. The mischievous pair find themselves washed up on on a mystical tropical island inhabited by vibrant wildlife and a very 'Handy-about-the-house' Orangutan. At the heart of the story is Syd, a young boy whose ordinary visit to his Grandad's house transforms into an extraordinary adventure when he discovers a secret door leading to Grandad's island.

It's a timeless story that speaks to the universal experience of love, loss, and the enduring power of the human spirit. As with all good stories there must come an end .
