The Maburris in the Wild West

The Maburris family are getting ready to spend a few days’ holiday in a small village. But this won’t be just any old trip: they’ve decided to make it an ‘analogue’ holiday – that is, no mobile phones, no tablets, no games consoles. Just them, the car and the logbook where they’ll write down their adventures each day.
What they don’t know is that their analogue holiday will bring them more excitement than they bargained for. A mysterious stowaway sneaks into their car, a missing girl turns up in the village, and a distraught father is searching for her… The Maburris siblings will have to decide whether to keep the secret or ask the adults for help.
An adventure novel about friendship, family and the importance of looking beyond our screens.
