Querying (agent guide below)

​

Ben Blakeley isn’t brave. Not really. But when his mum takes him to an old pub above an older smugglers’ cave for the summer, he stumbles into a centuries-old mystery, an imminent crime and The League of the Lantern House - a gang of local kids who may well be a part of it all.

 

He might not be brave, but when the old smuggler’s voice in his head starts to growl its warnings, Ben doesn’t have much choice.

 

Moontide is a story about friendship, legacy, and finding courage just as you’re about to give up.
