We are well into December now! Brodie has asked for Christmas-themed stories so we have picked up Christmas Tales which we only half-read after Christmas 2022 and then forgot about.

Letters to Enid part 62

and

Five on a Treasure Island – the graphic novel

I can now reveal that the book I was proofreading is The Challenge of Palores Point – the third book in Zöe Billings’ series about the Great Friends From Grey Owls. The book is out now (hopefully sans any errors if I did my job well!).

James, Jenny, Barrie and Liz are back for a third adventure
.
It’s the spring term for them in year 8 at Grey Owls Boarding School and they’re busy planning a relaxing half term holiday, staying with Jenny’s parents in Cornwall.

A week of sun, sea and sand, exploring the Corish coastline beckons to the four, but soon after they arrive, they stumble into another adventure. There is a thief about. Rare birds eggs are being stolen, and it seems by an invisible hand. As the thefts continue, the future for the endangered birds looks increasingly bleak.

With time running out, the four, with their new friend, Anka, only have a short window of opportunity to stop the thefts. Are the four clever and courageous enough to outsmart the thieves and overcome the Challenge of Palores Point?
