Synopsis

Felicity is really mad with her twin, Sophie, who accidentally left their Magic Book up at the stables and by next morning it’s vanished! Felicity holds Sophie firmly to blame, but is she?Finding one remaining torn page and its special pen, it’s just strong enough to write a poem to help them in their search. But with very little magical power, the words are all jumbled up, and it’s more of a riddle than a poem.Three friends arrive for a sleepover, leaving the girls no choice but to enlist their help as it seems The Book is in grave danger! But it’s clever, and has left a trail of pages and poems for the girls to follow - right through a waterfall, into a concealed land beneath a lake! An amazing discovery, involving their own two ponies and a past acquaintance, means things continue to get even weirder as, together, they enter this murky, unwelcoming world.

Author Biography

I have loved books and writing for as long as I can remember. Words hold such power; to teach, inspire, provide escapism and even friendship. You can visit anywhere and be anyone you want, just by opening the cover and running your eyes over words! To write and build worlds of my own to inhabit while I develop them is amazing! I hope my words within the covers will bring you as much pleasure as it has given me in the writing of them. When I’m not writing, I love horse riding, gardening, reading, roller skating and spending time with my family. You are most likely to find us enjoying a walk in the countryside, or roller skating along Eastbourne (UK) seafront - both likely ending with coffee and cake and/or iced cream!

True to Life

I love nature, including my pets: Angel, Smokey and Redster. They often inspire aspects of my stories, whether that’s climate change patterns we see with our weather, or comical moments with my ponies. Every day starts with feeding Angel, our cat, and then it’s on to take care of the ponies. It’s during this time that I make plans. That might be what to share here, or figuring out a sticky plot problem. In this book, you meet my two ponies, Smokey and Redster. The part in the story that I’m sharing with you today is something they frequently do when they’re eagerly awaiting their breakfast. And, yes, I talk to them all the time. My non-horsey neighbours probably think I’m bonkers, and as I have to go up there in all weathers, 365 days a year, I have to say they are probably right! But I like to think that being a bit bonkers, makes me a better writer. Well, writing does involve imaginary people having conversations in my head all the time! I rest my case :).

Mystery of the Missing Book

Sophie strode purposefully over to the wooden mounting block that their father had made. Her throat began to constrict with tension as it became clear that The Book was no longer there. “I sat here just before we left yesterday… it should be here,” she mumbled, biting the nails on one hand, and running the other over the top step as if to check it hadn’t somehow turned invisible.

“I’m going to climb the tree; I don’t see why I should help you look!” barked Felicity.

“Don’t start again!” their mother warned, her voice muffled from being inside the barn, preparing the horses’ breakfasts. “Redster, back up - I don’t need you taking the lid off the feed bin and helping yourself. Smokey! Stop biting Red’s bottom! I’ve got yours here; go into your own stable and then you can have it. Looks like I’ll have to split the both of you up as well. Honestly, between you two and my children, I’m going to need a lie down in a darkened room to regain my sanity when I get home!”
