Synopsis
Trader and his grandpa have combed the beach of Bognor Regis for as long as he can remember, and every time they find a beautiful or special stone, it's added to the treasure collection. But when Trader finds a particularly special pebble, he stumbles on a secret that was supposed to be kept for ever...
Can Trader and his new friend Charlotte unravel the mystery of this treasure, and return it to its rightful home?
From the creator and presenter of Taskmaster comes a beautifully told story of a young boy's connection with his grandpa - and a mystery that may come between them.
"Charming and funny and uplifting. I loved it." Greg James. "As delightful as a bucket full of beachcombed treasures." Thomas Taylor.
