‘Gargantis’ by Thomas Taylor

Book cover, 'Gargantis' by Thomas Taylor. Cover image depicts a giant eyeball in the lightning-wracked clouds above a small seaside town
Gargantis, written by Thomas Taylor and illustrated by Tom Booth, is an entertaining adventure. While written as sequel to an earlier book, I believe that it can also work as stand-alone. It centers around Herbert Lemon, official Lost-and-Founder in the town of Eerie-on-Sea. It’s Herbert’s job to reunite lost objects with their proper owners - and sometimes to arbitrate who “owns” an item when more than one person lay claim to it. In this fantasy adventure, Herbert and his friend Violet must solve the mystery of a treasure that was stolen from an underwater creature. “Gargantis sleeps, Eerie keeps; Gargantis wakes, Eerie quakes ...” and thus the adventure begins.

I received a copy of this book through LibraryThing Early Reviewers
