It's aimed at children aged 8 to 12 and it's a story about the bravery and determination of a young boy who is ready to risk his own life in his efforts to find his way home.
Ben is fleeing from a pair of dangerous bullies and he has to climb into a dark cave in order to escape from them.
Within the cave he finds the Junction, an amazing portal to other worlds! After he has entered the Junction he realises that he has managed to become trapped in a magical and mysterious land called Nunblebrook.
Ben befriends a young orphan girl and her pet dragon just to stay alive. All three of them and the weird Moonbeamer people set off on a series of dangerous missions and tasks in order to solve a riddle, free the land of a wicked king and to ultimately get Ben safely returned home.
It's an amazingly well written book and is a co-production between Hayley and her daughter (who is 12) who deigned the cover and provided the illustrations.
It's published by Matador at £7.99.
