Fleur Hitchcock is one of those writers who absolutely gets what young readers want from a story, as evidenced in books such as Shrunk! or The Boy Who Flew. In Clifftoppers, she creates a series of thrilling outdoor adventures steeped in the kind of freedom and independence that the Famous Five enjoy, but gives it all a properly 21st century feel. When cousins Aiden, Chloe, Ava and Josh go on holiday to their grandparent’s cottage they discover a world of wild beaches (and no curfews) and are quickly plunged into a proper adventure involving a kidnapped child, son a rich businessman. The villains are tough, but no match for our determined, smart and organised youngsters, who are ably assisted by Bella the dog too. It’s hard to beat if you are after really enjoyable and satisfying escapist adventure and the rest of the books in the series deliver too.

About Fleur Hitchcock
Born in Chobham, by an airfield, and raised outside Winchester on the banks of the river Itchen, Fleur Hitchcock grew up as the youngest child of three. She spent her smallest years reading Tintin and Batman under her brother’s bed, and searching for King Alfred’s treasure in the river. She grew up a little, went away to school near Farnham, studied English in Wales, and, for the next twenty years, sold Applied Art in the city of Bath. When her younger child was seven, she embarked on the Writing for Young People MA at Bath Spa and graduated with a distinction.
Now living outside Bath, between parenting and writing, Fleur Hitchcock works with her husband, a toymaker, looks after other people’s gardens and tries to grow vegetables.
