Frankie Feinstein and the Fenworld Thief-Takers
by A M Edge
Throw in a dog that looks like a tiger; a goat; a crazy old sergeant major; a bunch of illegal septuagenarians; a silent twin and a smell like something left too long in the back of the fridge and you’ve got dimension 10729, or Fenworld, as the Hinchcliffs call it. And that’s where thirteen year old Frankie Feinstein ends up when he’s sent to stay at his dead grandfather’s cottage on the edge of a Suffolk nature reserve. It’s not his fault. If au pair Birgit hadn’t crashed them through a hedge in the first place, he’d never have gone to investigate that derelict house; he’d never have found that weird old coin and he’d never have lifted that trap door… He’s got to solve the ‘portal popping’ mystery of what happened to his grandfather’s missing artwork, recover some stolen statues and work out what happened to his mum. Could she be trapped in the Hinchcliff’s dimension? Frankie Feinstein and the Fenworld Thief-Takers is a quirky pre-teen read by a debut author, laced with a fair share of action, humour and… antlions.
