Skeleton Secrets

Synopsis

Being trapped in the most haunted castle in the world is one thing, but, along with his Fluffball friend FluffyThomas, Charlie Aldon is also trying to find out the meaning of the mysterious clue he found – Dragalno – in order to help find out who kidnapped his other Fluffball friend, Ben. Along the way, Charlie discovers some strange golden skeletons who seem to withhold a secret, but what could it be? Could they help or hinder Charlie and FluffyThomas in their quest?


Publisher’s Note (November 2006 – reproduced from the book)

There have been plenty of exciting developments since we published The Castle of Dragalno last November.

The book sold well; we received encouraging feedback from readers; and we raised funds to support the HANDS AROUND THE WORLD project in Akomadan, Ghana.

In January, the Bristol-based team of HANDS AROUND THE WORLD volunteers spent an inspiring month helping to build the orphanage for the Misthy Cee Development Centre; and, on our return, we set up our own charity, MCDC (UK), to provide direct, ongoing financial help to this vital part of the community that made us so welcome.

This book, the sequel to The Castle of Dragalno, is the product of many people’s efforts – the whole family’s enthusiasm, Justin Folker’s generosity, David Harrison’s flexibility – but, above all, it reflects Owen’s great determination to stick to his task of writing, amidst all other distractions: he even welcomed our suggestion of borrowing a laptop so he could carry on typing while we were on holiday in Brittany!

Proceeds from the sale of this book will support the work of MCDC (UK); for details of other ways in which you can support the charity, please visit www.misthycee.org.uk.
