Summary

A Hayle & Storm adventure—book one in the Whitby series

Who knew the coastal town of Whitby in North Yorkshire could be so odd? A story of time travel, a parallel universe, and a creature with amazing abilities.

When Hayley Cartwright and Samuel T. Orm start their school term, they notice a few things are looking a bit odd around their hometown of Whitby. But that's normal for Hayle and Storm; they often discover odd things that others miss. However, a morning mushroom hunting results in their "Odd-O-Meter" going off the scale when they find themselves the guardians of a Sun Starter, a creature with rather special abilities.

Hayle and Storm's adventure doesn't stop there—the town of Whitby is hiding a much, much bigger secret....

Read by the author, this is the first book in the Hayle & Storm series of science-fiction fantasy based in Whitby, UK. Enjoyed by, and suitable for, listeners of all ages.

Surprising find

I have no idea how I came across this book as I don’t peruse lists of children’s novels, but I’m so pleased to have found this story. I loved the characters and the writing and indeed the author’s narration. At the moment there are no further instalments in the Hayle and Storm series which is very disappointing as I thoroughly enjoyed The Sun Starter, surprisingly so given my age - 76 plus the fact that I’ve never liked children! However Hayley and Samuel Tiberius Orme are worthwhile characters and unlike average kids. The Whitby setting was also interesting although sadly I’ve never visited the town.
I do hope more audiobooks are forthcoming.
