Fake News by C J Dunford

When four high school children, and one dog, suffer at the hands of online media they come up with a plan to show everyone how little they should trust what they read on the internet (actually, the dog only supplies moral support). They launch their own news site that details amazing, shocking, fascinating, utterly believable but totally untrue stories. Their intention is always to come clean, and never to target anyone in particular, but success goes to their heads. Before long they are enmeshed in a world of spies and aliens. What’s more, they have a sneaky and rather desperate journalist on their tail. How are they all going to get out of all this unscathed? What happens next will change all of their lives forever...
'Fresh and pithy, this makes for a very original and funny readI thoroughly enjoyed it.' Alex Nye, author of When we get to the Island, Chill and Shiver. 'Spies, lies and alien invasions. It's all right here in Fake News!' Philip Caveney, author of The Sins of Allie Lawrence, The Slithers, The Calling, The Crow Boy trilogy and many more.
Author of over 30 books, C J Dunford is best known for her crime and spy stories set around the world wars (The Euphemia Martins Mysteries and The Hope Stapleford Adventures). She has been, in no particular order, a hypnotist, a drama teacher, a journalist, a psychotherapist, a voice actor, a playwright and a novelist. She is currently a part time Teaching Fellow at the University of Edinburgh where she teaches creative writing, freelance journalism and statistics. Never one to follow the usual route she holds degrees in both arts and social science, as well as a smattering of professional qualifications. She is good with a blow torch, but better behind a steering wheel (her youngest son believes she used to be a racing driver). It was, in fact, a desperate attempt to get her two sons to read, and because she thinks all the best stories are YA, that she wrote Fake News. After all, with spies, cyber threats, disinformation and aliens, why wouldn’t you want read it?
