Christmas is going to be awful. Lynette's parents have won a dream holiday and are dumping her on a boring relative. No one has bothered to warn Lynette that her annoying young cousin will be there as well, or that her aunt's new neighbours are rude, unfriendly and decidedly strange. Angry with her parents, and irritated by old-fashioned Auntie Dorothy and exuberant little Johnny, Lynette prepares herself for a miserable time. She has no intention of even trying to make the best of things. However, being self-centredly ill-humoured proves harder than she expects.This is not an action-packed adventure. There are no major dramas, tragedies or grim lessons. It is a gentle story about a twelve-year-old girl's reaction to the ups and downs of an unwelcome situation and her growing self-awareness and sensitivity towards other people.The story, which is suitable for children and adults, has a Christian slant in that it features carol singing and a scene in church on Christmas morning.

A children's mystery story, set in an English village, and seen through the eyes of eleven-year-old Kathryn."I loved spending the Summer holidays on my grandparents' farm, but this time was different. There were so many weird things going on it was unbelievable. Buildings were catching fire, bikes and lawn mowers and fruit were disappearing, prowlers were wandering around at nights, and we seemed to get tangled up with strange people everywhere we turned. And all this in a dozy little village where nothing ever happened. My cousins - Kelly and Michael - were thrilled to have so many mysteries to solve and were determined to investigate, even though Gran had threatened to send us home if there was any trouble. I wasn't so sure, but decided to go along with them - and it got really scary."
