Brianne Collins and Georgia Douglas did a fantastic job editing the story. Thanks to Rosemary Peers and Clare Keighery, and also to Roxarne Burns, for all the behind the scenes important stuff.
Melanie Feddersen from i2i design once again came up with a terrific cover design.
Huge thanks to my daughters Lily, Nina and Bibi who listened to an early draft and offered the perfect mix of encouragement and constructive criticism. Their suggestions made the story much better.
One of the ideas explored in the story is that of sacrifice –
how far would you go to help someone else? I want to thank my wife Lucy for doing so much for me and our girls every day, and to say sorry for all the times I forgot to say ‘thank you’.

The Adventures of Sir Roderick the Not-Very Brave
In a land where peace is threatened by assassins, invading armies and unhappy peasants, one knight must be brave enough to journey forth on a great quest.
‘But that can’t be me,’ thought Sir Roderick.
‘I’m the most junior knight in the kingdom. And definitely the most hopeless.
They wouldn’t pick me to go somewhere so dangerous…
Would they?’
James O’Loghlin
Daisy Malone and the Blue Glowing Stone
Someone has to save the world and that someone is DAISY MALONE.
It's Daisy's 12th birthday but she's got more earth-shattering things on her mind. Her father is scared of everything, her mother has disappeared, and she and her dog Ben (a highly intelligent, talking dog – his words!) have just found a mysterious blue glowing stone in the attic.
But what is it, and why does everyone want it?
