Max and Chaffy are back in another adventure, and this time they're diving below the waves to explore the ocean floor!

It's another glorious day on Animal Island, but in the dark depths of the ocean is a map that leads to treasure, just waiting to be found. Who better to find lost things than Max and Chaffy?! Swim through the Coral Reef, traverse the Goldfish Trench, and follow the clues to discover a treasure unlike any other ...

From award-winning author Jamie Smart comes another vibrant, highly visual graphic novel about discovering new things, making friends, and returning what’s been lost to its rightful owner. The hilarious story is interspersed with engaging search-and-find pages—since Chaffy has a habit of getting lost—as well as items which aren’t where they should be! Join Max and Chaffy on their adventure to discover what’s been lost, and everything that can be found, on Animal Island.
Jamie Smart was named Illustrator of the Year at the British Book Awards 2024, Best Laugh Out Loud Illustrator of the Year at the Lollies Awards 2024, and won Illustrated Children's Book of the Year for Bunny vs Monkey: Multiverse Mix-Up. He studied art at college for four years, but it was just an excuse to practice drawing animals with goggly-eyes. His comic Fish-Head Steve was the first comic to be shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize. Jamie has illustrated comics for The Sunday Times, the Dandy, and the Beano, and is also the creator of the Max and Chaffy comic series for younger readers, and the illustrated middle-grade Flember series.
