A summer holiday by the sea beckons for the Jinks family, and of course Ben is bringing Stinky, his genius of a hamster, along with him. But a trip to the local museum uncovers the mystery of long-lost stolen diamonds and a map. Does 'X' really mark the spot? And can Stinky and Ben find the hidden loot before the crooks track it down? The fifth in the acclaimed STINKY AND JINKS series has all the hallmark hilarity, warmth and exciting adventure that readers have come to expect from Dave Lowe.

Mark Chambers is an illustrator and author of children's books. He has been shortlisted for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, and is the winner of the Sheffield Children's Picture Book Prize. Dave Lowe grew up in Dudley in the West Midlands, and now lives in Brisbane, Australia, with his wife and two daughters. He spends his days writing books, drinking lots of tea, and treading on Lego that his daughters have left lying around. Dave's STINKY & JINKS books follow the adventures of a nine-year-old boy called Ben, and Stinky, Ben's genius pet hamster. (When Dave was younger, he had a pet hamster too. Unlike Stinky, however, Dave's hamster didn't often help him with his homework. ) You can find out more about the series over on Notes from the Hamster Wheel: www. stinkyandjinks. blogspot. co. uk
