Full publisher description
Join Mathilda and her dad as they go on a daring adventure to find buried treasure on a desert island, despite their VERY different approaches.

Matilda and her dad are very different. Matilda is fast and Dad is slow. Matilda is tidy and Dad is messy, and Matilda is quiet and Dad is very, very loud.

They're off to find treasure on a distant desert island, but Dad keeps getting distracted. Soon, they're lost and Matilda is getting crosser and crosser... Will they ever find the way to treasure island?

Follow the twists and turns of Mathilda and her dad's adventures, as they navigate treacherous ocean waters, winding jungle paths and even a close encounter with a whale!

By the author of the best-selling There's a Tiger in the Garden and Juniper Jupiter, this funny, adventure-packed story teaches children that even though people are different, they can still have fun together.
