Seven Days

A fast-paced, action-packed story of how the past catches up to us, from bestselling and award-winning author Fleur Ferris.

When Ben is dumped with his country relatives for the holidays, he starts counting down the days until it's over, hating every second.

But Ben's stay takes a sharp turn when he comes across his great-great grandfather's journal - the final entry being from one hundred years ago, right after he was shot.

With his cousin, Josh, Ben starts unravelling mysteries, lies and shocking crimes. Can the two boys beat the odds to resolve a century of bad blood between two families? A dangerous treasure hunt could hold the answers - or it could be a journey from which there is no return . . .

About the Author

Fleur Ferris spent the first seventeen years of her life growing up on a farm in Patchewollock, north-west Victoria. She then moved twenty times in twenty years.

During this time, Fleur sometimes saw the darker side to life while working for a number of years as a police officer and a paramedic.

She now lives a more settled lifestyle on a rice farm in southern New South Wales, with her husband and three young children.

Fleur's colourful and diverse background has given her unique insight into today's society and an endless pool of experiences to draw from. When she isn't weaving this through young adult fiction, reading or spending time with her family, you will find her with friends, talking about art, books and travel.

Risk is Fleur's first novel for young adults, and in 2016 she will publish her second novel, Black.
