Ember's Fairies: Book one: The First Truth
Description
What if everything you knew about human evolution was turned on its head?
When fourteen-year-old Gem loses her amber necklace at her new boarding school, in the sleepy sea-side town of Eastbourne, she and her friends are only concerned with retrieving the precious, family heirloom – little do they know they will be drawn into a world of conspiracies and cover-ups as old as mankind. Together with archaeologist, Cessi, Americans Jack and Mac and a strange girl with an identical necklace, Gem and her new friends must keep the truth from being revealed – IF that is what they truly believe they should do.
Taking the true story of the Cottingley Fairy photographs and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's embarrassing debunking, Ember's Fairies is a contemporary novel that brings together an ancient myth and everything we thought we knew.
