Description
'I devoured The Light Jar whole and insist you do
the same. Pure, breathtaking genius' Maz Evans, bestselling
author of Who Let the Gods Out?
The second read-in-one-sitting mystery from the bestselling
author of The Goldfish Boy, one of 2017's biggest
children's books.
Nate and his mother are running away, hiding out in a tumbledown
cottage in the middle of a forest.
When Mum heads off for provisions, and then doesn't return, Nate
is left alone and afraid, with the dark closing in all around
him.
But comfort can come from the most unexpected of places - a mysterious
girl trying to solve the clues of a treasure hunt and the
reappearance of an old friend from his past.
Will Nate find the bravery needed to face the
troubles of his present and ultimately illuminate the future?
A story of fear and hope, loneliness and friendship.
A genuinely gasp-out-loud twist.
A page-turning, twisty mystery with characters to root for.
