by TerryDeary (Author)
When a mysterious stranger turns up at Marsden Manor asking for help, young Will Marsden and his grandfather jump at the opportunity for adventure. Riding north to Scotland, Grandfather tells Will how his own father fought for Henry VIII at the battle of Flodden Field. Then, as now, there were fierce skirmishes on the Borders between the English and the Scots Reivers - cattle thieves. But neither of them realises what danger the handsome stranger is leading them into. Luckily, Meg, the quick-witted serving girl, steps in. Parallel stories of murder and intrigue build to a vivid climax in Terry Deary's exciting tale of Tudor adventure.

Book Overview: High-profile author who promotes his books very actively. Historical fiction is the hot new genre. Tudor equivalent of the Roman Mysteries. Lively boy and girl protagonists combined with famous figures from Tudor times bring history to life. A galloping good tale that'll keep you completely enthralled. The Times. Tudor times are part of National Curriculum Key Stages 2 and 3. In a 2001 libraries' survey, Terry Deary was the most-borrowed author of children's non-fiction in Britain. Gorgeous new covers and an updated look for the six-book relaunch: four titles this year, two in 2006. No comparable series (Doubleday's Lady Grace Mysteries, published in 2004, are very different - told from the point of view of a maid of honour in Elizabeth's court.)
