The first in an exciting series exploring the adventures of Archy as he goes in search of a monster buried in the shadows for centuries. There is another world beneath our own, we just have to remember that it is there.Hadrian's Wall, Summer 1911 Archy is given the chance to spend his summer at the excavation of a Roman Fort called Vercovicium. One fateful day Archy stumbles across a buried tomb. Braving the dark Archy sets off in exploration and discovers a long forgotten part of history. The events of that summer open a new adventure to Archy that will change him forever. Origins Of The Magdon: Vercovicium marks the first in a series of episodic adventures following Archibald "Archy" Skevington as he struggles to find out the truth behind the hidden monster. Archy's first encounter happens when he is only sixteen but the adventure lasts for the rest of his life. Note from the author: The whole idea of the Magdon came about when my youngest son as a toddler asked me what a noise was in the woods as we walked home. Instead of telling him what it was I made up the idea of the Magdon and since then it has been part of our family adventures. Between this and the constant questions and my sons have grown up I have created a whole mythology and background behind the monster. It was during a conversation with one of my children's teachers that I was told how much I had captured my children's imaginations and they encouraged me to write the story down. As a result I have decided to break down the "origins" story into a series to make it accessible to younger ages but also keep the story clean and to the point setting myself a limit of 10,000-12,000 words per volume. The fact my children have totally immersed themselves into the twisted world of monsters I have created it only seems fair (on them and me) that I share it with the world. So here is truly the madness of my imagination and something I have made so real and believable for my children. Hopefully you will enjoy the adventure. Views: 290
A beautiful new novel about the innocence of childhood and the scars that stay with you for life, from the award winning author of Mr Wigg and Nest.
'All in?'
Kieran pulled me up, and the others followed.
We gathered around the bigger tree.
No one asked Matty - he just reached up and put his right hand on the trunk with ours.
Kieran cleared his throat.
'We swear, on these trees, to always be friends. To protect each other - and this place.'
When Jay and her four childhood friends find a group of ancient trees carved by an Aboriginal tribe to identify sacred land, their eyes are opened to an older world.
The tightly-knit group are at their most free on the river that runs through the farm, near the trees, and their childhood has a magical quality as they grow always closer, protected from the adult world.
But as tension over land rights flickers in the grown-ups' lives, the children's attempt to protect the grove ends in disaster.
Seventeen years later, Jay finally has her chance to make amends.
Not every wrong can be put right, but sometimes looking the other way is no longer an option.
But at what cost?
