Publisher Review

Fifteen-year-old Nick has just finished his GCSEs and is stuck at home in the seaside village of Brexenham, waiting for his results. What starts as a boring summer quickly transforms though, as Nick meets Jude Fletcher, a wild and otherworldly boy staying in a horse-drawn caravan while his father, Robin, restores the church's stained glass. Nick is pulled into their world by Jude's natural magic and the captivating tales he tells around the campfire. But the disappearance of local girl, Jemma Cox hangs over the community and Nick's father, a senior police officer, heads an increasingly desperate investigation to find her. -- Publisher: Lucent Dreaming
