Sadie And The Secret Of The Swamp

An eerie swamp. A hidden lab. A grisly discovery. When Sadie's dragged to a middle of the nowhere swamp for her school holidays, she finds herself glummer than the mud infested swamplands themselves. Things get worse when her brother comes down with some kind of vomit-fest of a virus and the owner of the swamp appears to be a child hating, beard growing, mud loving creep of a professor. But when her brother goes missing, will Sadie and her new friend Newt be able to figure out the secret of the swamp without ending up as monster food? AGES: 8 to 11 AUTHOR: Born and bred in Perth, Western Australia, Fionna was raised on a far too paranormal diet of X-files, Are you Afraid of the Dark? and Fact or Fiction. This has led not only to a peculiarly open mind, but also a taste for the delightfully mysterious and macabre. After studying marine science and working for several years within the commercial fishing industry, Fionna finally decided to test run those voices that had taken up space in her head for far too long. She has had her short stories published in the NSW School Magazine, multiple anthologies, and won several writing competitions including AWC's Furious Fiction & the KSP Spooky Story Competition and self-published a middle grade series of spooky interactive novels, The Twisted Trails. She looks forward to creating more creepy, bizarre and somewhat confusing books for children.
