When her school trip to the aquarium takes a perilous turn, Bernice must channel all of her knowledge to survive in this gripping drama from the queen of teen thrillers, Sophie McKenzie.

A dream school trip to a sea-life sanctuary turns into a nightmare for Bernice when she finds herself in a race against the tide.

When her friends’ reckless behaviour plunges them all into the freezing waters of Shark Bay, Bernice has to confront her fears and summon all her knowledge of marine life to find a way to safety.

But in shark-infested waters, can she act quickly enough to save the day?

Particularly suitable for readers aged 11+ with a reading age of 7.

House of Books and Friends is excited to announce the return of Chris Moss for another ‘Lunchtime Lecture’, this time discussing Where Tourists Seldom Tread: Postcards from Bypassed Britain.

📆Friday 4th September
🕑 1pm

Travelling from Warrington, Birkenhead and Slough to East Kilbride, Armagh, Newport and beyond, Chris Moss seeks out Britain’s bypassed towns. As he encounters the rich stories and spirits of these places, peeling back layers of history and culture, he considers why most have ignored the hidden pleasures they have to offer, be they Stockport’s viaduct, one of the largest brick structures in the world; the scene-defining punk venues of Paisley; or Ipswich’s ancient origins (the town being twice the age of Machu Picchu).
