  Ben's family is complicated. And being stuck in a remote cottage with his irritating elder sister, his silly half-sister and his weird step-brother drives him crazy - until a night-time intruder leads the children to make a shocking and dangerous discovery in the shadowy woods that they are strictly forbidden to explore. The first book in a new mystery series by the author of Bearkeeper and the bestselling GRK books. 'Ben's family includes a dizzying number of stepbrothers and sisters, and their adventures during a summer holiday in the country involve trespassing on a sinister estate, captive monkeys and all the features that those who love Enid Blyton will fall on withlee, especially because it's much better written' - Amanda Craig, The Times . 'A light, summery read that firmly takes the young reader - of either gender, happily - by the hand, and thrusts them deep into a realistic and perfectly formed mystery - Bookbag.
