All Lottie wants to do is have adventures, but no such luck. Until she meets Sophia, a girl surrounded by mystery and danger. When the two run away from a staged kayak accident to find Sophia’s mum, Lottie learns a lot about being the hero. No matter how many adventures you’ve read about, when you’re suddenly trapped in one – cold, hungry, and being chased by the bad guy – it takes all your real-life wit and bravery to survive… From the acclaimed author of Dear Scarlett and Murder in Midwinter. “Fleur Hitchcock has cornered the market in hard-boilers for beginners.” – Alex O’Connell, The Times
