What a gorgeous book. Aimed at 8-12s, but I believe it would be enjoyed by anyone with a pulse. This book reminded me of everything I ever loved about adventure books as a child. http://bit.ly/jhcYq1 by Rebecca Emin

Historically accurate, it highlights the problems faced by evacuee children during WWII, and just to keep us reading, Peggy helps us solve a puzzling mystery. Excellent value, and excellent tale from an excellent author. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004SI3YUS by David Robinson

This is a wonderful read with a great war-time feel; at times the humour shines through and at other times it’s very moving. A recommended read.  http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/155132329 by Maureen Vincent-Northam

There’s a great mix of humour, sadness, history, mystery and adventure, together with some wonderful characters, and I’m sure the book will appeal to both boys and girls, as well as their parents  http://bit.ly/fcC2Do by Kathryn Eastman

I would recommend Peggy Larkin’s War unreservedly, and have only one criticism – it ended too quickly! Peggy is crying out for more adventures, and I sincerely hope that Trevor Forest is prepared to let her have them.  https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004SI3YUS by Mandy James

Captivating, enchanting, entertaining – quality writing for children Trevor Forest’s  ‘Peggy Larkin’s War’:  http://wp.me/pLpGB-n7
by Anne Stormont

Wonderful review that will sit beautifully alongside the ones from Maureen Vincent-Northam Marit Meredith and Emma Kerry Thanks so much one and all.

Hi Kids,

I’m currently writing a new book about a young girl called Agatha Tapp who moves from the city to a cottage in the small village where her father was born. Each summer the children from the three different parts of the village called Three Farthings, enter teams in a treasure hunt competition. Unfortunately Duck Pond Lane, where Agatha now lives, hasn’t been able to enter a team for over ten years. Agatha is taunted by the members of Duck Pond Lane’s biggest rivals, the Brickley Road Bears, who are regular winners of the competition.

Agatha has a job on her hands to build a team as there are only four other children of qualifying age in her part of Three Farthings village and she will have to get all of them on board if they are to have any chance of winning.

During the treasure hunt the Duck Pond Lane team are digging for a clue when they find an old metal tin containing a bag of silver coins and a cryptic clue. The object has nothing to do with their own treasure hunt and once word gets out, Three Farthings is overrun with strangers carrying metal detectors, spades, and maps.

As the story of Agatha’s find hits the national papers, she realises that her team is now involved in two treasure  hunts. One of them is a competition set up thirty-five years earlier, with a prize worth two hundred thousand pounds.

Can Agatha, Sarah, Freddy, Gabby and Jake, solve the riddle and find the big prize, or will nasty Fritz Fellows and his friends, helped by Agatha’s fiercest rivals, get there first?

Lovely review of Faylinn Frost by Maureen Vincent-Northam on Goodreads  http://bit.ly/j3vmmO

Imagine a world of snow fairies. Now imagine their winter land under threat from a wicked ‘net slinger’ and his big black, yellow-eyed Sniffle and you have Faylinn Frost and the Snow Fairies.

The fairies are no longer safe; they’re losing the magic dust that controls their weather and Coldhaven is warming up. Faylinn Frost is called upon to help the snow fairies but to do this she has to devise a cunning plan.

This is a delightful story with an underlying environmental theme and Faylinn herself is a beautifully drawn character with oodles of charm. Absolutely love this.

Thanks so much, Maureen

What a gorgeous book. Aimed at 8-12s, but I believe it would be enjoyed by anyone with a pulse. This book reminded me of everything I ever loved about adventure books as a child. It made me smile, a lot. And it brought a tear to my eye at the end as well. Loved it!

Thank you Rebecca

Firstly I’d like to thank everyone for entering my competition. Because your entries have been so brilliant I’ve had a difficult time choosing the winner. It was so hard to choose that in the end I’ve decided to give out FOUR prizes.

The winners are:

Georgia: for her wonderful entry telling us what she got up to in the Easter holidays.

Caitlin: for letting us know about her family and what she did in the holidays.

Libby: for a lovely rabbit story.

Mary: for managing to tell us so much in such a concise way.

Congratulations everyone. I’ll be in touch by email shortly and your prizes will be on their way as soon as I have your addresses.

Thanks again to everyone who entered the competition. I’ve had a lot of fun reading your entries.

Interview by Rebecca Emin on her very popular blog. Comment and you have the chance of winning a signed copy of Peggy Larkin’s War.

This month’s Words with Jam magazine has a brilliant interview with the ultra famous, J.K.Rowling. Yes you did hear me right. Harry Potter’s creator has been grilled over a roaring fire in the Hogwarts kitchen, by the guys from our favourite writer’s magazine.  Once you’ve had your JKR fix, read on just a little bit further and you’ll find a fabulous review of Peggy Larkin’s War, by Anne Stormont. Anne has also written an article about writing for children that is well worth a read too. Oh, while your reading, take a look at Lo Mace’s article about how she  managed to land an agent but not a publishing deal.

Peggy Larkin and Harry Potter in the same issue. Whoda thunk it?

There’s also an interview with Julia Churchill, the children’s book  agent from Greenhouse.  I know Julia, she worked with me on Magic Molly
for a while but sadly decided not to take her interest any further.

You can buy, the magazine in print form, get hold of a version for the Kindle or other e-readers, or download the PDF. from WORDS WITH JAM

My book, Magic Molly has now been split into two parts. Part one is now available in both paperback and Kindle versions and it will soon appear as an e-book on Smashwords.

 Initially the books were planned to be published as two books but for a reason far to too complicated to go into here, books one and two ended up being combined into a longer work.

The first book is called The Mirror Maze. Part two, Gloop, will be released in the next few weeks. Younger readers will find them easier to read as  the episodes are shorter. 

You can find the paperback here: http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/magic-molly-book-1-the-mirror-maze/17552197  and the Kindle version here:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005QAMT9E
