Four years ago, Kelly's dad disappeared, apparently having taken
his own life. His family are left devastated and are only just
beginning to move on. Then, one day, Kelly thinks she sees him
again. It is only a glimpse - and it can't have been him - but it
is enough to bring back all the painful memories. Why did he kill
himself? What was so terrible that he couldn't go on? The thoughts
won't leave her alone. Kelly confides in her friend Jack and as
theytry to find out more about Dad's past they unearth a confusing
mass of inconsistencies and unanswered questions. Gradually they
are sucked into a murky world where nothing is as it seems. They
are out of their depth; someone is trying to stop them finding out
more and they are in real danger. Who is following them? Who can
they trust? And why does Gran refuse to talk about Dad?

Gypsy boy Mike has been in trouble with the law so his dad, George,
has taken him up north to work at Uncle Lash's scrap yard. But
somebody knows about Mike's history, and he finds himself
blackmailed. Mike and Lizzie, his sister, belong to a group of
Romany gypsies that have come to live in a newly created council
site on the edge of a village. Their stories tie in with pony-mad
Tess, who sees their arrival as a chance to chase her dreams of
becoming a talented rider, and Ben, her brother, who does not see
it the same way. Written by popular author Rosemary Hayes, The
Travellers is aimed at readers between 9 and 13 with an average
reading age of 10 years. Each book is based on research undertaken
by Rosemary. She skillfully weaves together the stories of the four
young teenagers, from both traveller and non-traveller backgrounds,
to explore different attitudes towards Romany gypsies. These are,
first and foremost, great stories which both boys and girls will
enjoy.
