Meg and the Great British History Mystery

A faith-filled family adventure

I am delighted to announce that my next children’s novel, Meg and the Great British History Mystery, will be published at the start of summer by Isaiah Books (exact date to be confirmed). Here’s the blurb:

“She’s dreaming the history of Britain!” Dad said.

“No,” Mum gently corrected. “She’s dreaming the stories of Britain.”

When Meg Barton moves to Barton-le-Clay with her large family and Gog, her large dog, she is plunged into a series of remarkable adventures as the past and the present play leapfrog. What is happening to her? Who will be caught up in her next adventure? And will she ever solve this great British history mystery?

It was great fun writing the story but the book also contains some wonderful illustrations. Michelle Pitt, who created the pictures for A Little Book of British Saints, has designed a wonderful front cover, and the illustrations inside the book, including the one at the top of this page, have been drawn by a certain Anna-Mei Peachey (with a few by me too, though Anna-Mei’s are better).

I’ll provide updates about the book itself and also about launch events closer to the publication date, but I thought I might whet your appetite here with this quotation from Fiorella De Maria, who kindly writes that Meg and the Great British History Mystery is “an enthralling adventure that brings the mysterious world of Ancient Britain to life. I look forward to more exciting journeys in the company of Meg and her big-hearted family.”
