Shadow Runners

by Daniel Blythe

A mysterious seaside town. Unearthly occurrences and dark dreams. What will happen when the mysteries of the Bay are revealed? A town at the end of the world. The kind of place where nothing is supposed to happen. And yet for twelve-year-old Miranda May, newly arrived and having some odd nightmares, things are rapidly getting very weird indeed. Who are the mysterious children watching her every move? What is the astonishing secret buried beneath the Seaview Hotel? And how much does the enigmatic science teacher, Miss Bellini, really know? Soon, Miranda finds herself recruited to a very special team of young people, and facing a deadly peril which threatens her very existence. Among the ruins of the Abbey, beneath the screeching seagulls on the pier and, finally, in the power complex high above the town, the final act of a desperate, centuries-long struggle is playing out. And perhaps not everyone will survive...

could have been better if they added a bit of romance but it overall it was ok.
