Meet Freddie Jones in a new series full of adventure and mystery from award-winning author Kate Foster

Freddie, along with his trusty assistance dog Hobnob and Grandma Lilly, is off to join his parents at a luxury resort for his first ever holiday. He can’t wait to see the rainforest and its incredible and dangerous inhabitants like cassowaries and crocodiles.

But it turns out there’s more to explore – and in store – than Freddie ever imagined. The ecosystem is not behaving as it should, and noises, lights and sounds are popping up all around the resort, leaving behind a trail of mysterious and unexpected trees. Who, or what, is behind it?

Can Freddie, Hobnob and Grandma Lilly solve the mystery, or will it be too late?

Reviews for Freddie Jones: The Mystery of the Troublesome Trees

Freddie Jones: The Mystery of the Troublesome Trees is a humorous and intriguing middle grade adventure with plenty of quirk and a whole lot of heart. One of the book’s strengths is Freddie’s vivid internal monologue – a constant stream of anxious thoughts, sharp observations and deep empathy. These traits, shaped by his neurodivergence, may feel intense to some readers, but will be recognisable and perhaps affirming to others. This thoughtful portrayal sits alongside a genuinely adventurous plot, making Freddie Jones: The Mystery of the Troublesome Trees an excellent choice for readers aged 8 and over. With the promise of more books in the series, the further adventures of Freddie Jones: The Mystery of the Troublesome Trees will be eagerly anticipated. * Books + Publishing *
