Kathleen W. Franks

The Mysterious Secret of Frankly Woods

When his family move to a new home near to Frankly Village, Danial — a ten-year-old boy — isn't particularly impressed, having left all his friends behind in the city. Chased by bullies into a forest whilst exploring his new territory, Danial meets Cervanae, a seemingly magical girl and his first friend in the countryside, who teaches him about the ways of nature.

Learning that a looming threat is putting Cervanae and many others in danger, Danial must act… but how to change someone's mind when they don't believe you in the first place?

This wonderful children's adventure from Kathleen W. Franks will charm and delight readers of all ages.

    Excellent read and a magical adventure set in the run up to Christmas. Kids want me to read it to them every night, no punishment for me as I love it too. Wonderful story.

    Finally found the sequel on Amazon in link below, The Peril of John Barleycorn. Highly recommended. Even better than the first.
