    About this ebook

    A lighthearted story, but with spikes.

    Imagine – You’re approaching 15, the summer holidays stretch before you but your family can’t afford to go anywhere. You and five mates decide on a visit to a very large, very private and very overgrown estate where you find a perfect place for an illicit camp. And manage to bend truths enough to persuade parents to let you go.
    Two days later you meet a dog, and a man who proceeds to evict you.
    Circumstances in your home town mean you have to make sure you’re not seen around. So you have to return to the estate – and lay low there too.
    But then the dog finds you. His owner needs help and you save his life, and discover his secrets. But the adult gang you’re trying to avoid find you one night....
    From these beginnings start a series of Interesting Times where you discover hidden strengths, abilities, friendships, self-reliance and perhaps wisdom.
