The Beast of Seabourne
Oz Chambers has a wonderful secret; an artefact of astonishing power gifted to him by his dead father. The kind that makes the year eight science competition a hands-down walkover thanks to the artefact’s genius avatar.
But there are sinister forces abroad who will stop at nothing to get their hands on such power, and when fellow pupils start being attacked, Oz finds himself in very hot water. Soon, he and his friend are caught up in a centuries old mystery involving a missing ring, lava toothpaste and a murderous monster known as the Beast of Seabourne.
Thrills and spills come from all directions in this mystery-solving second book in the Artefact series.
