The Fire Bay Adventure

Fleur Hitchcock is famous for her excellent "thrillers for beginners". This action-packed book takes 7+ readers on a fantastic, realistic adventure. Summer is sweet for cousins Lucille, Chloe, Aiden and Sol - staying with Grandma and Grandad means they can cycle and sail all around the coast without any grownups in the way. But out in their boat Chloe sees a terrified face at a window and they realise there's something rotten about nearby Applestone Hall. Could the face belong to recently kidnapped young George, the only child of a rich local businessman? The cousins soon find that no one else will help them uncover the truth. Certain that the villains are on the loose in the countryside, they must use all their skills and cunning to conduct a daring rescue and capture some desperate criminals.

Auteur

Born in Chobham and raised outside Winchester, Fleur Hitchcock grew up as the youngest child of three. She spent her smallest years reading Tintin and Batman, and searching for King Alfred's treasure. She grew up a little, went away to school near Farnham, studied English in Wales, and, for the next twenty years, sold Applied Art in the city of Bath. When her younger child was seven, she embarked on the Writing for Young People MA at Bath Spa and graduated with a distinction. Now living outside Bath, between parenting and writing, Fleur works with her husband, a toymaker, looks after other people's gardens and tries to grow vegetables.
