Tregarthur's Revenge: Book 2 Alex Mellanby

After escaping their troubles at home, Alvin and Jenna believed they were safe. They hadn't counted on the return of Zach, ex-school bully turned murderer and his caveman army.

Forced through the tunnel they find themselves back on Dartmoor - except that this is definitely not the 21st century. Struggling to understand the mysteries of the tunnel will they ever return to a safe time and place? Alvin failed to keep Miss Tregarthur's promise. Now reaching across time, it seems Miss Tregarthur will have her revenge.

A violent heat came from the tunnel walls.

I heard Jack shriek as his hand touched the side.

'It's the only way.' Jenna pushed us on.

Tregarthur's Revenge is the second instalment in the Tregarthur's Series, but can be read as a standalone book.

The Tregarthur's Series, was inspired by the Ten Tors Challenge, a two day annual event organised by the Army, for 2,400 teenagers to visit ten tors across Dartmoor, UK. A modern day Lord of the Flies, the books follow a group of teenagers who find themselves cut off from the adult world in an unfamiliar environment. It deals with themes pertinent to the lives of young adults, such as bullying, leadership, grief, and friendship, whilst at the same time having a page turning story line full of adventure and mystery.

This is Alex Mellanby's second novel in the Tregarthur Series. Alex's medical career fell apart when he failed to pay his GMC registration, not necessarily a bad move for humanity. He is now writing full time. The current series was inspired by the timeless nature of walks on Dartmoor. Mostly timeless for him because getting un-lost took unimaginable time. Apart from the current series he is working on a number of short stories and very different novels. Join in on the conversation at facebook/tregarthurseries or visit tregarthurseries.com
