The Rewilding of Molly McFlynn (Revised Edition)

Pre-order now. Published 8 December. All pre-orders will be posted in one run in the week of 8 December.

It’s spring 2020 and fifteen-year-old Molly McFlynn is uprooted from town life by her mam who says she can’t be trusted and is sent to live with her grandparents in the wilds of Northumberland. Molly is furious – her friends abandon her, the food is inedible and her Nan is doing strange things in the garden at night.

Life takes a new direction when hares keep crossing her path and she meets a girl in the woods who appears to be homeless and on the run. Martha is from the seventeenth century, and a life lived on the edge of society. She is fleeing from the witch finder and the men who have hurled her mother, Ann Watson into gaol during the 1649 Newcastle Witch Trials. As Molly’s friendship with Martha grows, Molly discovers her true self, learns a love of nature and understands that it is okay to be different.

However, as Covid strikes, and a local witch hunt takes place, Martha’s is not the only life that is in danger. Molly must stand up for what is right, help heal family rifts and come to the rescue in a moment of peril.
