As they start to uncover the full horror of Miss Tregarthur’s mind they realise how far she will go to control time. Will Alvin escape the future she has planned?

The storm broke. The wind screamed into a gale again hurling itself across the moor, whipping up mud and stones in its path, hail burst out of the storm clouds.

‘Nothing happens without the crystal.’

Tregarthur’s Crystal is the forth and penultimate book in the Tregarthur’s Series.

The Tregarthur's Series, was inspired by the Ten Tors Challenge, a two day annual event organised by the Army, for 2,400 teenagers to visit ten tors across Dartmoor, UK. A modern day Lord of the Flies, the books follow a group of teenagers who find themselves cut off from the adult world in an unfamiliar environment. It deals with themes pertinent to the lives of young adults, such as bullying, leadership, grief, and friendship, whilst at the same time having a page turning story line full of adventure and mystery.
