About the Book

Deep down in the drains under the big cities, lives a strange race of creatures called Grozzles. Who live in a land called Grozzleland. Grozzleland is being flooded with oil and grease, by the lazy habits of the Big People in the city above. Can Grotty and his friends save Grozzleland before it's too late? Join Grotty and Captain Snooty on an adventure to find the leader of the big people. In Search of the Big People tells the story in a fun way about the problem of pollution. That gets poured down the drains. The pollution eventually ends up in rivers and lakes, draining into the ocean. In Search of the Big People is the first book of the Tunnel Quest Series. The Tunnel Quest series is a series of stories based around Grotty Grozzle and Friends. Who have adventures on water based environmental issues that are a now more than ever, a problem worldwide. This series is not a series of doom and gloom. But a series of hope. Children are our future and how we educate them now, will help our environment in the future. In Search of the Big People is an ideal story for anyone who has a concern for the environment and would make a perfect addition to any library. Part of the proceeds from the sale of this book goes to Greenpeace environmental awareness programs

About the Author

Gerald is an unconventional man for an unconventional world. Trained in fine art and business management, Gerald first dreamed up the story and the series concept at art collage in the 80's, but due to life's challenges and a lifetime of graduating in the university of hard knocks, he was unable to develop the story until now. He has traveled extensively and spent many years working in heavy industry. He has seen the decline of manufacturing in the western world. He has extensive insight into the problems of industrial pollution and through his travels through third world countries he recognizes that it's not just a problem with industry, but a problem with society in general. The state of the world's waterways are in terminal decline. Urban pollution from poorly designed info structure in rich and poor countries are contributing to destruction of the world's most valuable commodity, water. The detachment of people from the environment as people become more urbanized leads people to be complacent about their own lifestyle. We are all guilty of pollution in one form or another, and if this story only helps to change the habits of a few then it has not been written in vain.
