Flight from Fernilee

Out of the blue, the comfortable lives of the three Hadwin children are dramatically turned upside down when strange men arrest their parents and attempt to capture teenagers Alice and Miles, and their younger brother Joe.

Miles and his sister manage to escape and with help from the Tree People, a band of eco-warriors living secretly in the forest, rescue Joe and his new friend and fellow captive Odi from the clutches of the nunjas - weird women dedicated to the Global Order Brotherhood (GOB) headed by Elymas, a megalomania who plans to achieve world domination in a very unethical way. Fortunately, the runaways have their allies: The Tree People, their ingenious Uncle Jeff, Captain Catastrophe, and Mr. Big, Joe's special friend to whom he turns whenever there's a crisis.

Beginning with Uncle Jeff's warning to the Hadwin's parents, the story takes several twists and turns before the youngsters meet Mr. Smyle, a billionaire philanthropist who promises to help them find their parents, and in the meantime, gives them everything they could possibly want!

After a breathless chase through the forests, hills and canals of Derbyshire, an epic voyage with the hapless Captain Catastrophe and further brushes with the nasty nunjas, it all ends with a heart-stopping showdown between young Joe and the evil Elymas on top of the shivering mountain.
