Rupert is having very strange and disturbing dreams about his dead father. In his dreams his father is a dark, shadowy figure who preys on people while they sleep. But in his waking life Rupert knows nothing about him. His mother refuses to talk about it. Then he meets Samantha and together they decide to find out what happened and track his father down.
Genre: FICTION / HorrorThe first in this series, "Mantequero" has sold very well indeed. The dual language version - English and Spanish sells well and has been adopted by at least two schools, B & B Idiomas in Granada, Spain and a school in California. I now wish to have this book and the second book in the series, "Disappeared" also translated into Spanish
The Geek was staring at her – again! Samantha could feel his eyes boring into the back of her neck. That’s all he ever did – just stare. All the time. Whenever she was in Mrs Winton’s class she knew that if she turned round in her seat she would catch his eye. He’d been doing it ever since this term started which, as it happened, was when he had joined the class. Why her? She couldn’t decide when she looked at him whether his expression was one of hate or desire. It was intense, she could certainly say that.
She couldn’t believe it was because he fancied her. There were two things about her which were guaranteed to make any boy run a mile; she was clever, and she was fat. Boys didn’t like clever girls. They were afraid of being shown up. And nobody liked fat girls. She had no girlfriends either. Who wanted to be friends with someone who was top of the class (very uncool) and complete rubbish at sport (mega-uncool)?
She tried to concentrate on the book in front of her but she couldn’t take her mind off the Geek. Maybe he was planning to murder her!

Author review: Marcia is a joy to work with - very sociable and enthusiastic. Her translation was accurate and in the spirit of the book. She delivered her work in a timely fashion and was unerringly helpful. This was a first time for both of us and we helped each other. I sincerely hope she will want to translate more of my books. |
