'THE PHOENIX FILES' by Chris Morphew

'The Phoenix Files' adventure genre series is written by a young Australian author, Chris Mophew. Students who have read all three that are stocked in our library, are eagerly awaiting the fourth episode.  Each novel is told from the point of view of one of the main characters (so girls will also be reading this action packed adventure mystery book).

Set in contemporary Australia, plot revolves around three young teenagers who have started at a new school when their parents are relocated to new jobs in a small, new town, in the middle of nowhere.   When the protagonists discover they cannot make contact beyond the town, the reader is caught up in a world of suspense as the teenagers seek to solve the mysteries that keep cropping up, and we wonder if they will survive the horrors that lie beneath this new place.
Here's an extract to get you interested....

"The end of the world is one of those things that you never really expect to end up being YOUR problem. Not that I used to spend much time thinking about that kind of stuff. But if I had, I would've thought it was pretty safe to assume that saving the planet would be someone else's job."
