animal lovers everywhere!*
When Meg and Alfie go with their parents to spend the summer at their Great Aunt
Saffron's hotel, they imagine a summer of lying by the pool, having adventures in
the beautiful gardens and living in luxury for the summer…
But nothing prepares them for what they find on arrival - fish in the overgrown
pool, birds in the attic and a hotel that looks almost beyond repair. Running the
hotel has just gotten to be too much for their elderly Great Aunt, and they discover
it's been a long time since the hotel had any paying guests.
But a chance encounter with a neighbour's rambunctious puppy gives them a
marvellous idea. Maybe humans might not want to stay here, but with a lick of
paint and some minor changes, maybe some of their animal friends will. PET
HOTEL is born!
In Book 4, Pet Hotel's newest guest is also its most unique! Chance is a Seeing Eye
mini pony. He helps his blind owner get from place to place, just like a Seeing Eye
dog would. At the hotel, he bonds with someone who could use his skills-Velvet
the Persian show cat. Meg and Charlie hope that Chance's responsible ways will
help them keep the spirited cat spotless and out of trouble.
This is a wonderfully fun and adventurous mini-series for readers aged 6-9 years.
A new Kate Finch mini-series will be coming in 2015.

*Throughout this humorous, adventure-driven series, Jack has to survive a
smorgasbord of international dangers, and help his mom and dad grow up.*
Jack Berenson, a phobia-plagued, checklist-making eighth grader, just wants a
normal childhood. But he keeps getting caught-up in his clueless, globe-trotting
parents’ get-rich-quick schemes. The series opens with JACK THE CASTAWAY,
in which Jack is unfortunately reunited with his parents after the death of his
guardian. Unable to locate any other relatives to take Jack in, his parents decide to
bring him along on their next venture: running a snorkelling business down in the
Caribbean.
While Jack learns to drive the boat, his parents attempt to ‘drift-snorkel’ in a
strong current. Sadly, they forgot to fill the gas tank and Jack is set adrift in the
Caribbean Sea.
Landing on an uninhabited island, Jack and his parrot Loco set out to find food,
water and shelter. (Actually, Jack has to do all the work, Loco does nothing.) Jack
learns to free dive, explores the coral reef and befriends a whale shark named Tom.
