A warm, witty and imaginative story from Waterstones prize-winner Rebecca Cobb that perfectly captures the Epic Adventure of getting to school on time.

Mum wants us to hurry! She's worried the bell will ring before we get to the playground. But she doesn't realise that the hill we have to go up is the tummy of a sleeping giant who we mustn't wake! And she doesn't pay attention when we tell her that suddenly there is lava EVERYWHERE! It's just as well she has us Brave Explorers with her...

A charming and relatable, beautifully illustrated story that's full of fun: recognizable to children and their grown-ups everywhere!
