Hallowed Ground by Paul Twivy
This magical story is inspired by the most haunting and least explored country in the world - Namibia - with its foggy skeleton coasts; buried goldmines, shocking secrets and awe-inspiring sand dunes. Spread across the face of its deserts are hundreds of miles of `fairy circles' : vast enough to be seen from space. They grow and die with the same lifespan as humans, yet no-one has been able to explain why or how they appear. Then one day, three teenagers and their families arrive from different parts of the globe. Helped by bushmen, the buried possessions of a Victorian explorer, and a uniquely spotless, golden leopard, they solve the mystery of the African Circles. What will they discover beneath this hallowed ground? And how will it change the future of the planet above it?
'Paul Twivy has taken the extraordinary, real-life phenomenon of Namibia's Fairy Circles and turned it into a compelling story about the passion of the young to save the planet' Vanessa Feltz, broadcaster and journalist
