A school trip is a chance to find out more...if he can find the money to go. But Andy has struggles of his own in the shape of the Squaddies, a gang of bullies determined to make his life a misery. Can learning about the past and making an unexpected friendship of his own give Andy the courage to face up to them? |
Contributor Bio(s): Worley, Wendy: - Born in Kenton, Wendy Worley grew up in Beaconsfield on the edge of the Chilterns. She now lives on the Mendip Hills near Frome. As a child, Wendy always had her nose in a book, and spent many hours browsing in the local library. However, her working career began as a scientist with a brief spell in the Met Office and then building research. She completed an Open University degree before combining work as a school science technician with running the library at Somervale School in Midsomer Norton. Later, as a full-time librarian at Sidcot, Wendy immersed herself in children's literature and learning. One of the highlights of managing a school library was organising author events and meeting a host of talented authors inspired Wendy to start writing, which has now become a full-time occupation. She is a regular book reviewer for the School Library Association and is an active member of the Frome Writers' Collective, which supports and promotes writers in the Frome area. |
