Chippy Chasers Chippy jackpot by Sam Cotton

Australian actor, writer, illustrator and animator Sam Cotton has taken his chippy thief seagull from TikTok and written him into a wonderful graphic novel that will be adored by fans of Real Pigeons and Bad Guys. Bluey fans may also recognise Sam's work from the episode Tradies, in which he voiced the character 'Chippy'.

While putting the grandgulls to bed one night, Steven Seagull is urged to tell them a bedtime story and what a great story he has. It all revolves around Brock's Chips, the best hot chips in the world. Stacey and Stanley are desperate to get their hands on some but to be successful they'll need the help of the legendary chippy thief Steve-O. But Steve-O's gone underground after a terrible incident in which he chose chips over his best mate. Can they find Steve-O, help him redeem himself and get some of Brock's delicious chippies?

This is a super fun book with simple but effective illustrations and short blocks of text narration and dialogue. Young fans of graphic novels will devour this quickly and with a permanent grin. Those already familiar with some of Sam Cotton's other work will be particularly pleased.

Themes: Graphic Novel, Humorous Stories, Seagulls.
