Captain Congo and Pug.

Ruth has been busy doing lots of school visits with Captain Congo and his faithful sidekick Pug, the stars of her Captain Congo graphic novel series.

Illustrated by Greg Holfeld, the series revolves around intrepid adventurer Captain Congo the gorilla and his faithful sidekick Pug the penguin.

Captain Congo and the Klondike Gold is the third in the series that readers and critics just love. It follows 2009 Children's Book Council of Australia's shortlisted title Captain Congo and the Crocodile King and its sequel Captain Congo and the Maharaja's Monkey, which will have young readers enthralled to the very last page.

All Captain Congo books are OUT NOW through Working Title Press.
