Have you ever been afraid of the dark?Bertram Bile wasn’t always like this. At primary school, he had friends, kind teachers, and great grades. But everything changed when he started his new school. His parents split up, his dad went missing, and his mum lost her job. Now he’s bullied by his classmate Angus and his evil geography teacher Miss Petrenko. His dad had been Miss Petrenko’s first love, but she never forgave him for dumping her for Bertram’s mum when they were kids themselves. Bertram feels sure that Miss Petrenko knows more about his dad’s disappearance than she’s letting on. After all, why would you take a job as a geography teacher if you didn’t know any geography AND you hated kids? The Boy who was Afraid of the DarkMy name is Jack. I’m an orphan at the Foundling Hospital in London where I’ve been since I was five years old - some birthday present that was. Things are about to go from bad to worse when some boys are mean to me. What happens next is going to change my life forever, but will it be all bad, or could there be a silver lining? The Boy who was Afraid of the Dark is the seventh book in the Bertram Bile time travel adventure series, which follows the course of the River Thames from its source in Gloucestershire to the North Sea in Essex. But don't worry if you miss a book or two, you can jump in at any point in the series.
