Author Kitty May Gruchelska scores a resounding success in her book STEVEN F SEAGULL & THE MISSING CHIPS, intended for youngsters and teens (and all the young at heart!), shaping a fine mystery in the format of relating interesting principles in a population of seagulls. In a very clever mystery setting in the oceanside Fry Cove, the author capitalizes on the popularity of chips – not only among humans but also seagulls – and the food preference of these birds is abruptly challenged when the chips disappear.

Can highly recommend reading, but make sure you do with a portion of chips on hand
A lovely feel good story, very evocative of the British seaside. Told with fine touches of humour throughout, and the captivating characters and plot will keep you gripped (or maybe chipped!) until the very last portion! It would make a great animated children’s movie.
