A young adult adventure set in Cornwall, this is Teresa’s second novel, and the first in her planned series of Cornish Mystery Adventures.


The Mystery of Acorn Academy tells the story of fourteen-year-old Holly Champion, who, following a traumatic incident, is sent far away from her Midlands home to an exclusive school in Cornwall, UK. Acorn Academy, a magnificent clifftop mansion, looks stunning, but why are the students so docile and obedient? And what happened to the mysterious Lydia, who occupied Holly’s room before her? When Holly’s new friend Jess vanishes, Holly must risk her life in a terrifying struggle, racing against time to rescue her friend and expose a shocking plot.

“My aim was to write a gripping adventure story,” says Teresa, “with likeable main characters and lots of intrigue, twists and turns - the sort of page-turning book I loved as a child. It’s aimed primarily at young adults (readers of ten and up), but could also be enjoyed by young-at-heart adults of any age. The feedback from my beta-readers has been very encouraging.”


Teresa’s new novel will be published by Authors Reach on 25th March, and is available for pre-order on Amazon.

“I’ve been working on this book for a long time,” she says, “and I can’t wait for Holly’s story to be told! I’m really looking forward to sharing it with readers.”
