Gezz and her friends, Luke and Malcolm are minding their own business, having fun on the small area of wasteland near their homes when their lives are shattered by the arrival of a truck carrying a strange visitor who will change their lives for ever.

Anne Droyd and Century Lodge is the exciting first novel from Worsley-based writer Will Hadcroft. All the best features that made the Famous Five books such compulsive reading have been distilled and updated to produce a modern fable which entertains, surprises and amuses while also looking at how children see themselves and their place in the world as they approach adolescence.
