Freddie Jones: The Mystery of the Troublesome Trees by Kate Foster

Meet Freddie Jones in a new series full of adventure and mystery from award-winning author Kate Foster

Freddie, along with his trusty assistance dog Hobnob and Grandma Lilly, is off to join his parents at a luxury resort for his first ever holiday. He can’t wait to see the rainforest and its incredible and dangerous inhabitants like cassowaries and crocodiles.

But it turns out there’s more to explore – and in store – than Freddie ever imagined. The ecosystem is not behaving as it should, and noises, lights and sounds are popping up all around the resort, leaving behind a trail of mysterious and unexpected trees. Who, or what, is behind it?

Can Freddie, Hobnob and Grandma Lilly solve the mystery, or will it be too late?
