It's 1958 and two gangs of 'nearly' teenagers have just started their summer holiday when a mysterious prowler is spotted who threatens to put and end to their fun. Even worse is to follow when Ten, the leader of The Bramble Gang, finds a dead body in the woods.
This is an adventure story for younger readers and tells of six weeks in the lives of a group of children in the summer holiday of 1958. Set in a real place - Cowplain in Hampshire, England - it is full of period detail and has a twist which usually makes readers turn back to the beginning just to make sure they haven't missed anything.
It has wonderful illustrations by Sonia Passingham who has captured the period feel with wonderful line drawings.
