The Last Firefox

A comic, adventurous and charming debut for eight-plus, with an engaging cast and a deftly evoked Welsh setting. - Guardian

The fantasy and reality strands of this funny, heart-warming adventure provide wonderful contrasts. The genuinely scary beast is a constant, looming presence but the practicalities of hiding a flammable creature at school bring things right down to earth. - Booktrust UK

A heartwarming story about family, friendship and finding your inner fire.

Charlie Challinor's life is a bit scary. Between bullies at school and big changes at home, every day brings a new challenge, and Charlie's not sure he's got enough bravery to face them on his own. But when a mysterious boy leaves him in charge of a mischievous cub called Cadno, everything changes. Because Cadno is no ordinary fox, he's a firefox - and something sinister is on his trail.

As a giant black hound starts sniffing round his home town, Charlie realises only he can protect the last firefox. And that maybe he's brave enough to do that after all.
