Ten-year-old champion daydreamer, Peter Nuts, his trusty dog, Mr Milly, and a long summer break at Nanna's. Not quite the idyllic setting for a battle between good and evil, right?
Woodland adventures with his friends, fun with his eccentric nanna, Peter's certain this is going to be a summer to remember.
And it certainly is. But not for the right reasons.
Nanna Nuts is forced to shed light on the strange incidents of Chattersley, the usually sleepy village where she lives. And when she opens the door to The Veil and shows Peter what lies beyond our earthly perceptions, his young life changes for eternity.
This fledgling hero dives head-first into a magical place which borders between the realms of fantasy and reality. He encounters the Rag Tree Boys (the ethereal embodiment of childhood spirit) and the oracle rosewood bird, Wit. He has to quickly learn about the paranormal and the rules which govern this alternate reality.
A place where the good is infinitely beautiful, and bravery and honour manifest before his very eyes. However, as Pete awakens and the Light celebrates, the Dark are hot on his trail and keen to snuff out his growing power.
Will Pete survive the tentacles of fear that desperately want to choke his Light?
Will he find the courage to uncover the truth behind this secret realm and an age-old mystery?
In the maze of traps that is a playful boy's imagination, is the power to be a saviour, or the nightmare knocking at your door?
Be hooked by this compelling, addictive and magical book for young adults and the young at heart.
