INTRODUCING THE SUMMER BROOK BESTIES

Can two people from opposite ends of the earth really be friends?

Summer Brook Spring is the first book in a cosy series for kind and curious young readers who love books, animals and best friend adventures.

10-year-old Freya Patel think it is RUBBISH her family are living at Summer Brook Farm, her Gran's farm in Australia, for a year. It is so far away from everything she knows, and all her friends at home in London.

Emma Lloyd is excited to have a girl her own age living next door to the dairy farm that has always been her home. But can a country girl be friends with a girl from a big city on the opposite side of the planet? When Maisie the cow gets in trouble, Freya and Emma must join forces to save her little calf.

The Summer Brook Besties series offers young readers an escape to a cosy place where life isn't easy, but where problems are solved through cooperation and kindness. Freya and Emma learn about friendship and family through their adventures together in a farming community in Australia. This is a thoroughly modern take on the cosy Enid Blyton series so beloved by readers, featuring diverse characters and contemporary issues that offer rich opportunity for home and classroom discussion. Each book has 10 chapters with original B&W illustrations by Caitlyn McPherson. Four books are planned for release in 2020/21.

Bushfire Christmas

Christmas in Australia is in summer. It's too hot and too strange for Freya. Emma is irritated and hurt by Freya's longing for home and they fall out. When bushfires devastate the area, their squabbles seem petty-but is it too late for the Summer Brook Besties' friendship?
