Keyfinger

By Fred Dinkum

COBY'S KEY unlocks trouble-but this book unlocks joy.

Coby isn't your average kid. On the tip of his finger? A skeleton key bone that can open any lock. Fed up with watching their riverside home wrecked by greedy businessmen, Coby hatches a bold plan: use his secret gift to do good-starting with some poetic justice for the worst offenders. His dad Razor, a charismatic thief, loves the idea. But when things spiral and Razor lands in in a tricky spot, Coby's left to figure out right from wrong on his own.

Taken in by the very man they once robbed-Barnaby Bills-Coby gets his first taste of school, friendship, and life beyond crime. But when Barnaby reveals plans to demolish their shack for a palm oil factory, Coby and his new streetwise friend must act fast. With his key damaged and time running out, Coby faces a wild choice: sneak into prison to save his dad, or lose everything they've fought for.

Packed with daring escapes, zoo cage justice, and a lockpick you'll never forget, this is a fast-paced, big-hearted adventure about turning the key on your past and choosing your own future.

Perfect for readers aged 8-12 who love mischievous heroes, unlikely friendships, and stories where doing good means thinking outside the cell.
