The Cast & Colophon

Pip Parker, 11, who labels everything. Ollie, 6, brave in small, loud ways. Marigold “Goldie” Finch, 12, who knows every shortcut. Barnaby, a walrus in a waistcoat. Miss Whisk, a cat who keeps the record. Thimble, a hedgehog who sorts socks by smell. Silas Snell, a lonely inventor. Biscuit, found eventually. And Captain Chomp, a secret pirate.

Set in the Bureau’s own eight colours: ink, paper, walrus-gray, waistcoat-brown, hedgehog-tan, pip-red, goldie-teal, and mustard. Every illustration is drawn once and reused verbatim, the way the Bureau files a thing: carefully, and without redrawing it.
