A Family Secret: Timmi Tobbson Junior

In A Family Secret (Timmi Tobbson Junior) readers are introduced to Timmi Tobbson and his curious circle of friends at the very start of their adventure as “Young Explorers.” A dusty, ancient book holds a mysterious message — and once Timmi deciphers it, the group embarks on a thrilling journey of clues, hidden codes and unexpected friendships. Each chapter ends with a puzzle, encouraging children to pause, think and actively participate in the story instead of passively reading. The colourful illustrations are more than decoration: they contain visual hints that work in parallel with the text, fostering observation and logical reasoning. As the quest unfolds, children discover that what begins as a playful mystery gradually becomes a meaningful exploration of friendship, courage and discovery. The bonus “Facts for Explorers” section at the back unlocks real-world science, technology and history connected to the story’s themes — from fingerprint analysis to turning saltwater into drinking water. This mix of narrative, activity and knowledge makes the book a strong choice for children aged 6 to 8 who enjoy interactive reading experiences. Designed to spark curiosity, build detective-thinking skills and pull young readers away from screens, A Family Secret invites families to explore together. Whether it’s reading aloud, solving puzzles as a team or simply turning the pages for fun, this first instalment in the Timmi Tobbson Junior series sets the stage for many more adventures ahead.
