Funfear - Wordtamer Series Judy Waite

This is a rollercoaster of a time-slip mystery. It rattles along through plot twists and cliff-hangers that keep the reader gripped tight from beginning to end. Max Baxter, the new-boy in a recession hit town, finds himself slipping between his real life and a strange, long-ago funfair world. Local thugs find plenty of reasons to pick on him, and as Max?s ?real-life? behaviour becomes more weird and erratic, his street cred takes an even bigger hit. But Max is drawn to the funfair again and again, pulled into a race against time to save a rare white lion. Can he change the past to save the future?

The book has additional creative writing training pages at the end of the novel, showing young (and not so young) would-be writers how to grapple with genre, conquer cliff-hangers and create ?endings to die for?. Innovative writing exercises offer tips and tricks that inspire new story ideas, give examples from the novel, and offer opportunities to experiment with writing techniques used by experienced published authors.

Funfear is more than a novel ? it offers a magical new reading and writing experience. This time-slip adventure mystery has been developed to connect with an interactive internet experience that is capturing imaginations across the world.
