The Curse of the Silvan Oaks

Two children, from different times and different places brought together to take part in one epic adventure. When Oli moves with her mother to live in the country, away from everything she has ever know, she is deeply unhappy. Her mum insists Oli come with her to the creaky old mansion where she works, and Oli can't think of anything more dull. Far away in the magical Silvanland, Cory is fed up with being overlooked for his seemingly perfect older brother. His family are caught up in a centuries long feud with another royal clan and he doesn't see why he can't get involved in the fight. When Oli stumbles through a magical portal in the old mansion, their destinies collide. A curse is festering in Silvanland, and Oli may just be the key to breaking it. And so begins a thrilling quest, more perilous than either child could ever have imagined. Oli and Cory must dig deep to find the courage they need, to save Silvanland and one another. A wonderful, magical adventure story that explores themes of friendship, trust, and a child's role in the family by debut author G N Channon
