"You cloned my leg?" asked Benbow, dazed. "We cloned you, you numskull!" snapped Garracker. "Three perfect Benbows..."
Benbow is a police dog who patrols the abandoned City, home to gangs of street children and their dogs.

He wants Benbow and his clones to track down three very special children hidden in the City... but time is running out.
This is a newly revised and enlarged edition of the original paperback published by Andersen Press, which received these
"...The narrative drive is such that you happily suspect disbelief by the end of the first chapter... Readers of nine and upwards will love it." (Independent on Sunday) "...The first word 'Scalpel' sets the scene for a fast-paced adventure story... An entertaining tale for canine fans of all ages." (The Lady)
I'm an author based in the north of England. Although I've spent most of my working life in schools and libraries, I've also had seven children's books published, as well as about 60 short stories in various magazines in the UK and Australia. In 2012 I set up a child-friendly story website, Megamousebooks.com, to offer free online children's stories, downloadable ebooks and puzzles. It's proving a full-time job, but a very enjoyable one. I've also been slowly producing free, abridged ebook versions of classic English novels, and selections of well-known poetry. These are now available from my second website, Englishliteratureebooks.com.
