Beschreibung des Verlags
Action-packed finale to an enthralling trilogy of spine-tingling spooky adventures with a sporty twist, from a master of footie fiction for kids.
A tense Seth is waiting to hear if his mum's got the 'all-clear'. But instead of relaxing in Cornwall, Seth is haunted by visions. Heads on spikes – bloodied and rotten, eyes pecked out – surrounding an Iron Age hill fort to keep intruders away. When Seth meets two football-crazy brothers from Aleppo their stories offer him a new sense of courage. Can he look death in the face and restore calm to the present? Exciting finale to the Defenders trilogy.
Reviews
"Will grip young readers from start to finish, and make them think about their own place in the world" – LoveReading4Kids
"A good, pacy read with illustrations to help it along and support understanding. It’s perfect for an older reader who really needs a decent gripping story but might be overwhelmed by too chunky a text" – Books for Keeps
