And that teaser I promised? Well, here’s the blurb:

Drew’s life is falling apart
Mum and Dad are divorcing. He’s torn from his home to live in a different country. No friends. Bullied at school. Can it get any worse?
Then the archaeologists arrive – to work in the shadow of an ancient Scottish tower.
And strange things occur. Odd dreams, shadowy figures, weird noises, accidents.
Is Drew’s mind playing tricks? Or, as new friend Mairi insists, is it a ghost in the tower?
There’s only one way to find out. Drew and Mairi must discover the secret of Coultry Tower.
This new adventure from the author of the best-selling Order of the White Boar sequence weaves together strands of Scottish and Irish history into an exciting ghost story for younger readers.


Alex Marchant is author of two books telling the story of the real King Richard III for children aged 10+, The Order of the White Boar and The King’s Manand a third in the sequence, King in Waiting, which continues the adventures of the young members of the Order in the following years.
