Children's

Finlay’s mother vanished two years ago. And ever since then his stutter has become almost unbearable. Bullied at school and ignored by his father, the only way to get out the words which are bouncing around in his head is by writing long letters to his ma which he knows she will never read, and by playing Scrabble online. But when Finlay is befriended by an online Scrabble player called Alex, everything changes. Could it be his mother secretly trying to contact him? Or is there something more sinister going on?

Alex Neptune is back for his most epic adventure in this fifth and final instalment of the action-packed series – perfect for fans of Percy Jackson and Dragon Realm!

Brineblood the pirate is back on the high seas with a dastardly plan – he’s going to steal every drop of sea magic and use it to raise an all-powerful monster from the bottom of the ocean. If Alex, Zoey and Anil can’t stop him, the monster could flood the entire world.

Teaming up with the water dragon, they use a home-made submarine to journey deep into places no human has been before. But they have one crucial problem: Alex has lost his magic. Can he still lead his crew to victory? Or will Haven Bay – and the rest of the world – be lost for good?
