All Lottie wants to do is have adventures, but no such luck. Until she meets Sophia, a girl surrounded by mystery and danger. When the two run away from a staged kayak accident to find Sophia's mum, Lottie learns a lot about being the hero. No matter how many adventures you've read about, when you're suddenly trapped in one - cold, hungry, and being chased by the bad guy - it takes all your real-life wit and bravery to survive...

From the acclaimed author of Dear Scarlett and Murder in Midwinter.

"Fleur Hitchcock has cornered the market in hard-boilers for beginners." - Alex O'Connell, The Times

All Lottie wants to do is have adventures, but no such luck. Until she meets Sophia, a girl with an excitingly mysterious history. When the two run away from a staged kayak accident to find Sophia's mum, Lottie learns a lot about having adventures (they're mostly brilliant but not the bits where you nearly die) and friendship and the truth.

If Lottie's parents were normal instead of weirdos, she'd never have met Sophia. And she'd never have made that promise. Or run away in a kayak, stolen some beetroot and pretended to be a Star Wars fan. None of the scarier stuff would have happened, either. Lottie just wanted to be a hero. She had no idea it would be so dangerous...

A promise is a promise. Lottie's never broken one, and she never will. Even if it kills her...
Maybe Sophia's dad is a secret service agent and she's the living code to some terrifying discovery. In Sandwiches For Satan the main character's hair contains a DNA sequence code that activates the American nuclear deterrent. I wonder. Whatever it is, I suspect that Sophia could prove to be a first class mystery. In fact, I'm sure of it.

Om bidragsyterne

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.
