When Alice Mistlethwaite is shipped off to boarding school in Scotland it's nothing like she imagines. Run by the mysterious Major, there are no punishments and the students are more likely to be taught about body painting or extreme survival than maths or English!
Then Alice's dad goes missing and she must run away to find him. Can she persuade her new friends to help?
So begins an epic quest across wild Scottish highlands and islands, where friendships will be made and broken, lies will be untangled and the children will face danger and excitement at every turn.
Both hilarious and heartfelt, this is the classic adventure story brought bang up to date, and told in Natasha's inimitable voice.

Review:
So much more than a gripping adventure, this is a story that'll make you love your friends and family a little bit more. I stayed up all night reading it! Author: Emma Carroll, author of Letters from the Lighthouse
Although it has echoes of other children's books (not only JK Rowling but also Eva Ibbotson and Enid Blyton), this wise and touching novel has originality and a fresh voice. There are melodramatic elements (a theft, villains with guns), but mostly it is about friendship, families, loss and trust, the joy of nature, facing fears and how children should live big lives.

Wonderful contemporary storytelling with a classic feel. Source: Bookseller

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Like many girls, Alice Mistlethwaite idolises her father, Byron. He is a hero: brave, kind and impossibly funny. It's just a shame that he's always in and out of prison. After a particularly naughty outing, Alice's Aunt Patience decides to take action. Alice is to be sent to St Cuthbert's School for Winners - where competition runs deep, and being 'outdoorsy' is not optional. Much to her own surprise, Alice fits in far better than she ever has before, swiftly making friends and enjoying running wild in the Scottish countryside. But then Byron disappears - or rather his letters stop - and Alice becomes convinced something has happened to him. Aunt Patience is much less sure (and worse, seems to think he has something to do with a robbery that's making the news), but Alice is undeterred. Armed with her new friends, and a handy opportunity to escape from school, she sets off on an epic quest to find her father, prove everyone wrong about him - and perhaps discover some home truths about herself and her family along the way. Both hilarious and heartfelt, this is a classic adventure story brought bang up to date, and told in Natasha's inimitably perfect voice. St Trinians and Lauren St John collide in this hilarious and thrilling new standalone from Natasha Farrant.
