The mysterious black C-Bean is a remarkable device which, as Alice and her classmates discovered in SeaBEAN (the first book in The SeaBEAN Trilogy), knows just about everything and can take them anywhere in the world. But now it's broken and stranded on the rocks on the remote Scottish island of St Kilda. When Karla Ingermann, the C-Bean's designer, turns up from Germany to try to fix it, they perform a factory reset, which accidentally sends it back in time, and Alice's world is thrown into disarray. Chased by Victorian police, attacked by an enemy submarine, imprisoned with a madwoman, summoned to rescue a dying pilot and fired at by government agents, Alice, together with her parrot, her dog and her new wartime companions, embarks on a journey through time, uncovering dark secrets from St Kilda's past and safeguarding the future before it's too late.
"This book was gripping, capturing, unputdownable and awesome! It was also an exciting and imaginative book. I found out lots of facts about the environment." The Guardian "I am giving SeaBEAN to my 8-year-old twin grandchildren to read - they are going to be captivated by the hero of the story, 11-year-old Alice." Huffington Post "There's no feeling that you are reading a children's book, as the language is clear and intelligent - and yet you are drawn into a dream-like state where impossible events seem perfectly reasonable. Highly recommended." GoodReads "An absorbing and intelligent tale with a strong environmental angle." The Swallow's Nest "Told with a mixture of faux blog postings and conventional narrative, SeaBEAN is an enjoyable fantasy with a clear message about environmental stewardship." Joe Follansbee 'Flawlessly written, the language is simple and straightforward but not condescending for young readers - the pace romps along with constant changes of venue and lots of adventure." Best Book Review "It is the best book that I have read... EVER, and I can't wait for the next book in the series. It is perfect for ages 9+.' Mia, age 10
