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.
