cover of Secrets and Seashells at Rainbow Bay by Ali McNamara

Win a copy of Secrets and Seashells at Rainbow Bay

Posted on July 2, 2019July 22, 2019 by jenny

We’re counting down through these last few weeks of term. I can’t wait to finish my school job and spend 6 weeks with my children. We have a family holiday booked at Duinrell in The Netherlands as well as some weeks at home to relax. The kids can’t wait to sign up for the Summer Reading Challenge at our local library, I really wish there was something similar for us adults!

Last week I told you about Secrets and Seashells at Rainbow Bay by Ali McNamara. It’s a classic rags to riches tale, all about Amelia, who discovers she is the last descendent of the Chesterford family and that she has inherited a Real-Life Castle by the sea.

Living in a castle on the beautiful Northumberland coast is fun at first, but organising the day-to-day running is a lot more complicated than Amelia first imagined. Luckily, she has help from the small band of eccentric and unconventional staff  –  and a mysterious unseen hand that often gives her a push in the right direction just when she needs it most. When she meets Tom, a furniture restorer, Amelia realises she might get the fairy-tale ending that she and Charlie truly deserve …

It’s a real page-turner and would make the perfect read if you’re getting away this Summer. I’m pleased to have a copy to giveaway today!
