Stormy Loch Academy is about to change the lives of three children forever - a companion novel to the bestselling The Children of Castle Rock , by a Costa-winning author and queen of outdoor adventures.
High in the mountains of western Scotland, there is a loch, and on its shores there is a castle, and in that castle there is a school . . .
Stormy Loch Academy is like no other teaching establishment. For one, its headmaster, Major Fortescue, believes in sharing the beauty of the world with his students, so that they will have the courage to fight for it.
For Minna, Kass and Tom it proves to be the safe haven from their chaotic home lives, giving them all a chance to breathe freely, and to roam the valleys and lakes on their doorstep.
But then they come across Addie, an older ex-student, hiding out in the wild, with only her guitar and her dog for company . . .
At first they believe her stories, but when she goes missing, the lies she has told start to emerge.
With Addie at risk, Minna, Kass and Tom must travel to London to uncover her past. The journey is dangerous, especially for those so young . . . But these are the children of Stormy Loch, and bravery and adventure runs through their bones . . .
Natasha Farrant has worked in children’s publishing for almost twenty years, running her own literary scouting agency for the past ten. She is the author of the Carnegie longlisted and Branford Boase shortlisted YA historical novel The Things We Did For Love, as well as two successful adult novels.
She grew up in London where she still lives with her husband, their two daughters and a large tortoiseshell cat. She is the eldest of four siblings and has never dyed her hair pink.
