Highway Pirates

“They’ve seen us! Run for it!” Miles Coverthorne plunges into the bushes, his friend hard at his heels and the Eagles in pursuit.

At Hobworth’s School in 1830, boys make their own rules after lessons. Sylvester Eden and Miles belong to the Foxes, one of two rival bands whose skirmishes turn the woods into a battleground. Now Ben Liddle and his Eagles are chasing them through Patchley Wood—and Miles’s twisted ankle leaves the pair with nowhere to run. Their daring raids and schoolboy feuds are only the beginning: a mystery waits at Coverthorne Hall, bound up with the secret place in the title. What lies hidden there, and what will Sylvester and Miles find when they go looking?
