Pluck has been driving all over town in his little red tow truck, looking for a home. When he finds out there's a room going free in the Pill Building he goes straight there and moves in. Right away he makes lots of friends, including Zaza the cockroach and Dolly the pigeon. Now his adventures can begin...Blending realistic characters with the fantastic, full of adventure and humour, Tow-Truck Pluck is an unforgettably offbeat children's classic in the vein of Roald Dahl's The BFG, and one of the Netherlands most popular children's books of all time.

Miracle of concise writing, singing dialogue and witty storytelling... This seemingly simple book sprinkles big ideas throughout with impressive lightness: the infantilisation of grown-ups (and vice versa), the importance f grown-ups (and vice versa), the importance of friends and keeping your chin up. Boy, could we all use a bit of Pluck right now
