WAVE RIDERS – Out Now!

Twelve-year-old twins Jess and Jude live a dream life sailing from one exotic destination to the next with their guardian, Gabriel Carter. But after Gabe vanishes and a storm smashes everything, they’re left penniless and alone.

When a wealthy, glamorous family offer them a home, everybody tells them they’re the luckiest children in the world. But the Blakeney’s stately mansion is full of secrets – secrets that seem entangled with the twins’ own fate. As they race to uncover the truth, Jess and Jude must confront their deepest fears.

How do you solve a mystery when that mystery is you?

KAT WOLFE ON THIN ICE – OUT NOW!

 

Best friends Kat Wolfe and Harper Lamb can’t wait to travel from Bluebell Bay to New York’s Adirondack wilderness for a log cabin holiday with their parents. 

But misadventure haunts them from the start, leaving them in the wrong place at the wrong time. Alone! When the star witness in a major trial vanishes nearby, Kat and Harper race to piece together the clues that might save her from a notorious gang. Soon they’re targets too.

With a snowstorm moving in and no way out, Wolfe and Lamb need all of their mystery-solving skills, plus the help of some wayward huskies, if they’re to survive.

THE BOOK OF HOPES

 

It was a joy to contribute to this beautiful anthology, edited by the very amazing Katherine Rundell. 

My story is called ‘A Dog in Time.’ It’s free to read and I hope very much that you enjoy it.

GORGEOUS NEW WHITE GIRAFFE SERIES COVERS

 

Martine and Ben, the original wildlife detectives, have been brought brilliantly to life by illustrator, David Dean, on all five covers of my White Giraffe series.

Hope you love them as much as I do.

AUTHORS4OCEANS

Nearly 60 of the UK’s best-known children’s authors & illustrators, including Michael Morpurgo, Katherine Rundell, Chris Riddell, Jacqueline Wilson, Jackie Morris, MG Leonard, Gill Lewis, Jasbinder Bilan, Yaba Badoe, and Lauren St John are behind AUTHORS4OCEANS, which campaigns on a host of marine conservation issues, from plastic pollution in our seas to over-fishing and dolphins in captivity . St John came up with the idea for the campaign when she ordered a drink in a bookstore and it came with a plastic straw. She says: ‘It occurred to me that there are hundreds of bookshops and schools handing out plastic bags, straws and bottles daily. On my own, there wasn’t a lot I could do about it but I thought an alliance of children’s authors might have a voice on the issue. And if publishers, booksellers and our readers joined us, together we could make a real difference.” For more information visit: authors4oceans.org
