From the acclaimed author of The Valley of Lost Secrets comes a heart-pounding adventure about the unbreakable bond of friendship, set against the backdrop of a Welsh valley in the 1970s. Jason, a young boy, lives with his older brother, Richie, determined to keep their family together after the untimely passing of their parents. Despite having supportive neighbors and cherished friends, the constant fear of being perceived as incapable lingers in the air, a notion reinforced by the societal pressures of the time.
February 1974 brings a new challenge as working-class families grapple with the harsh reality of the three-day week. The reduced power usage means less work and less income to sustain their lives. Richie, driven by his unwavering determination, takes on odd jobs to make ends meet, often resorting to favors for the wrong people. Amidst this economic turmoil, an urban legend about a beast lurking in the valleys catches Jason's attention. The local paper offers a substantial reward for any proof of the beast's existence, sparking a quest that unites Jason's friends.
Driven by their loyalty and compassion, the four best friends embark on a thrilling journey that will forever shape their lives. With echoes of the iconic film Stand By Me, this middle-grade adventure unfolds like a rollercoaster ride, filled with unforgettable characters and a captivating plot that resonates with readers of all ages. The themes of resilience, courage, and the power of friendship are woven seamlessly into the narrative, making this another timeless masterpiece from one of the finest writers of historical fiction for kids.
Prepare to be transported to a time of innocence and adventure, where the bonds of friendship are tested and strengthened. The Valley of Lost Secrets awaits you, ready to captivate your imagination and leave a lasting impression on your heart.
