Description
An action-packed adventure story with an exciting film location setting.
Finn is a free-running black belt, with a talent for acting-but when his big break arrives, it's not the role he was expecting at all.
Recruited as a stunt double, he's pushed to his limits-scaling walls at high speed, jumping from dizzying heights, and diving into rocky waters-all without any safety gear. He's determined to push himself, but as the stunts get more dangerous, the lines between movie and reality are really starting to blur, and it becomes clear that he'll be luckily to escape this shoot with his life.
A brand new adventure for readers aged 9+, from the author of The Scarlet Files.

Person
Having lived in several exotic places, Tamsin loves to travel, have adventures and see wild animals. She's swum with dolphins, ridden an elephant and held a seven-foot python. She lives in Somerset with her adrenalin-junkie family. When she isn't writing, she can be found tromping through the woods with her soppy dog, reading books or eating jellybeans.
Her previous books for OUP include Cat Burglar, and Mission Gone Wild. Both are part of an exciting series The Scarlet Files, in which Scar McCall juggles life as a school girl and shapeshifting thief.
