MARMALADE
Description
Cornelius Cobb, a slightly bored young teenager, has his life changed dramatically when his parents separate without warning. Then he happens to meet Count de Seville through his mum’s laptop, and becomes involved in the Count’s tragic life story.
He is persuaded to help the Count in his endeavour to gain his rightful inheritance. For that to happen, he needs to travel to Mildura where the Count had previously sought sanctuary. Cornelius, and his best friend, who is also his cousin, talk the mother into travelling to Mildura for a holiday without revealing the full story.
After arrival in the small town, the mother has come to know more, and why even further information is needed. The truth may be hidden at an Orange Orchard, but they need to be sneaky when visiting, without revealing themselves. They find out a few important details from a fraudster who lives there openly after claiming the inheritance.
The story is riddled with hurdles and dangers. Sometimes mixed with humour. To find out more, and how everything ends, you may have to read the book.

Coober Peedy watches a scary movie on TV, while relaxing in his grandma's sofa. During a sudden power break, he starts to hear unexpected sounds.

Coober lights a candle, and discovers that the voices belong to two little people. They tell him how they were hit by lightning strikes around 40 years earlier, which made them shrink to be only 20 centimetres tall. Since then, they have lived in his grandma's pantry.
He has trouble working out if they are almost nice, or unbelievably nasty.
Despite his feelings, but for safety reasons, Coober decides to try and help them return to their normal sizes. He wants them to move away from his grandma's house.
He tries to find an antidote in an old library book and finds interesting advice on what may become the solution.
There are twists and turns, which culminate in a surprising ending.
A fantasy adventure with a bit of chill and humour suitable for 8-12+.
Lena - Blissful Thinker
As a writer for children and young teenagers, I focus on crafting engaging stories. My writing is often inspired by wild imagination, and often features colourful characters, sometimes with funny names, to make a story more interesting. My fantasising is also meant to produce captivating plots to
bring all my crazy ideas to life.
I have been writing for many years and have a few more stories up my sleeve. Some need a bit of reworking, or remodelling, but will be coming out in the near future.
Next story may be launched soon.
