Produktbeschreibung
In 18th century Britain sheep rustling was punishable by hanging or deportation. Neither seem a good alternative to Alvin, who is still trying to work out how he and his friends got caught up in this mess. In Tregarthur's Prisoners they may be getting closer to present day but they are further from Dartmoor than they've ever been before. Tumbling through the twists of time, can Alvin escape the hangman's noose? But as Miss Tregarthur tries to destroy them all, the tunnel is beginning to give up its secrets. I whipped round to see a shrouded figure emerge, stride forward and pull back her cloak to reveal the blazing eyes, the snarling mouth - that terrible face of Miss Tregarthur. Tregarthur's Prisoners is the third instalment in the Tregarthur's Series. About this book series The Tregarthur's Series is an adventurous five-book young adult fiction series about survival and self discovery. Inspired by the dark timelessness and unpredictable vast landscape of Dartmoor National Park in Southern England, a group of school children on a hiking expedition unleash an unknown power, transporting them through time, to a world beyond anything they have experienced. Cut off from the adult world in unfamiliar environments, the series chronicles their adventures as they desperately try to return home. Each book in the series involves travel to a different time, where the group has to survive using skills and knowledge they have gained from their old life. On a journey from the prehistoric age of the Neanderthals to the 14th century Black Death; from the Convict ships of the 18th century to the more recent discoveries of Marie Curie, the group are drawn back to the strange stones of Dartmoor. In Tregarthur's Legacy, the remaining members of the group are caught up in a never ending war that is raging across a WWI stricken France. In this explosion of past events, Mellanby has yet again delivered a powerful story with themes pertinent to young adults intertwined with mystery, historical fact and adventure that has delighted his growing readership. * * * This is Alex Mellanby's third novel in the Tregarthur Series. Alex has given up any pretence of doctoring except to over-diagnose his own hypochondriacal illnesses. The series has been inspired by the wild wet Dartmoor. But with his children resident in Australia, that fantastic environment and history had to be part of this book. Join in on the conversation at facebook/tregarthurseries or visit tregarthurseries.com
