The Mall Adventures

Frankie and Ernest's dad works security at a shopping centre. He always has. It's just that the shopping centre isn't quite what anyone would expect - and this Saturday, for the first time, Frankie and Ernest are going to see it for themselves.

The mall has never been open to the public. It has one hundred and twelve shops. And at the back of each shop is a door and the doors don't lead to stockrooms.

Drawn into a mystery that has been carefully protected for generations, Frankie and Ernest discover that the mall is more than a place to shop, it is a gateway to stories, history, and worlds waiting to be explored.

When Frankie and Ernest step through their first door, they find themselves somewhere completely unexpected - a sun-drenched English village, a summer fete in full swing, bunting strung between the trees and a tombola spinning cheerfully in the afternoon light. It looks perfect. It looks completely ordinary.

But Frankie notices things other people miss. And something here isn't right, and it points directly to the church and the Vicar.

Sharp, funny, and full of the kind of adventure that starts quietly and builds into something much bigger, Is the Vicar an Alien?! is the first book in The Mall Adventures - a series where every door is a new world, every world holds a secret, and two ordinary teenagers discover that their dad's job is the most extraordinary thing they never knew about.

The Mall Adventures is an entertaining family adventure filled with mystery, discovery, humour, history, and a sense of wonder. Perfect for young readers who enjoy imaginative adventures, secret worlds, and stories where an ordinary day can become extraordinary.
