Stormy Loch Academy is about to change the lives of three children forever …

Stormy Loch Academy is like no other teaching establishment. For one, its headmaster, Major Fortescue, believes in sharing the beauty of the world with his students, so that they will have the courage to fight for it.

For Minna, Kass and Tom it proves to be the safe haven from their chaotic home lives, giving them all a chance to breathe freely, and to roam the valleys and lakes on their doorstep.

But then they come across Addie, an older ex-student, hiding out in the wild, with only her guitar and her dog for company . . .

At first they believe her stories, but when she goes missing, the lies she has told start to emerge.

With Addie at risk, Minna, Kass and Tom must travel to London to uncover her past. The journey is dangerous, especially for those so young . . . But these are the children of Stormy Loch, and bravery and adventure runs through their bones . . .

‘an escapist, outdoorsy adventure perfect for the summer holidays. This novel is old-fashioned, classic storytelling in the very best sense . . . It’s a proper, rollicking adventure. Reading The Children of Wolf Rock feels like doing all the wholesome, good bits of a Duke of Edinburgh expedition without getting wet and cold. Gold medals all round.’ -The Times, Children’s Book of the Week

‘Glorious, immersive 8+ adventure’ – The Guardian
