The Mystery Busters Book 1: An Enchanted Adventure
Becky Piper lives in a large rambling house in a village not far from the city of Oxford. She also has a magical secret that she finally decides to share with her friends Helayna, Tom and Alex. But when they scoff and tease her about it she is so upset that she vows never to discuss it again.
​
One night soon afterwards the friends gather for a camping sleepover, and during a creepy game of hide-and-seek at twilight, something supernatural happens that leads to the disappearance of Becky's little brother William. Her secret has proved to be very real and, horrified by the turn of events, and not wanting Becky's parents to find out that William is missing, the children immediately embark on a quest to discover what has happened to him and bring him safely home. But what they discover along the way turns out to be even more surprising and dangerous than they could have imagined.
​
The Mystery Busters will take you on a roller coaster adventure steeped in fantasy and wonderment, and a struggle with the darker side of an enchanted world which will test the friends' courage to the limit.

The Mystery Busters Book 3: Spellbound at the Smithy
It’s been a while since the Mystery Busters’ last adventure, and Becky’s friend Helayna has found herself temporarily relocated to a village close to White Horse Hill in Oxfordshire. She’s feeling sad and so her mother invites her faithful friends round for a sleepover.
Venturing out on their bikes that evening, the children settle on the edge of a field where Alex, after researching the area, makes up a spooky story about long-lost highwaymen, and an underworld dominated by witches and a terrifying Saxon warlord from centuries past.
Unsettled but determined, the next day the friends bike up to Waylands Smithy to explore the ancient site. Suddenly they feel the ground start to vibrate and with a crash of thunder and the sound of galloping hooves, a huge dark horse rider is seen fast approaching across the fields wielding an axe! They flee to the woods to escape only for the ground to collapse beneath their feet, plunging them into a scary underground abyss, where they find themselves caught up in another mystifying adventure.
Is Alex's story coming true? If it is, then the children must escape this place before daybreak or risk being trapped there forever.
In this riveting tale the Mystery Busters encounter another frightening array of adversaries, but also benevolent beings in a story full of fantasy, adventure, peril and courage.
