General fiction (Children's/YA)
Description
Adventures only happen to grown-ups and children in story books. Or do they? Tilly is a girl who dreams of adventures. When she is sent to live with her mysterious explorer Aunt in her old house atop a sugar cane hill, she has no idea what to expect. She finds a house full of books and strange artefacts, the odd delicious biscuit, an absent-minded aunt often away on adventures, a border collie called Livingston and Thandeka, a new friend. Then the valuable crown of ancient Ghana is stolen from a museum exhibition. Tilly and Thandeka begin to connect the dots and fall headlong into their first adventure, but will they be brave enough to make it through?

Author Biography
Nicole Rimensberger believes very passionately in books and that if there is a kind of magic in the world, then it can be found between the covers of a book. She has been chasing this magic ever since she was little and learned how to read. Over the years she has worked in the monitoring and evaluation of educational projects for NGOs, volunteered for an organisation teaching English to refugees in Durban, South Africa, and, more recently, in academia teaching English in teacher training programmes. Her mission in life is to share the magic of books and get people reading. Her books are fun, adventure-filled stories that hopefully give children that magical experience of getting lost in a book. She has also created "Story-building: An Online Creative Writing Course for Kids" in order to share the fun and excitement you get from making up your own stories. She's a little bit from Switzerland, mostly from South Africa, but currently living in the Netherlands with her husband, two daughters and South African rescue dog. You can find out more about her books and creative writing course on her website www.hellotypewriter.co.za where you can also access some free reader resources and download a book.
