An exhilarating novel, set in a Georgian world of highwaymen and tricksters, starring heiress Hero Devine. Hero is a girl who can hold her own, as notorious, highwayman Jack Giles discovers to his cost when he tries to hold up her coach.
Accompanied only by her pet wolf Flow, Hero is escaping a childhood beset by the darkest horrors and she soon recruits Jack to her own urgent mission: to change the dreadful fate ordained for her by her evil family. As a reluctant Jack is drawn into her terrifying world, he discovers that she may hold the clues to his own mysterious past.
Fast-paced, fast-talking, jam-packed with narrow escapes and moonlit rides across a frosty heath, this is an irresistible adventure for fans of THE RUBY IN THE SMOKE and HETTY FEATHER.
'’A heart-filled adventure of daring deeds, nefarious villains, and amazing hats. It’s bright as a pistol flash, sharp as a blade, and gallops along like a black stallion on a moon-lit heath, and I loved it.’
-- Thomas Taylor‘With a charming duo at its heart, Hero the Highway Girl is a pacy, fun-filled adventure packed with humour and heists. It's my kind of book!’
-- JJ Arcanjo‘Hero Devine leaps off the page fighting!A fast-moving, fierce and funny story with a rich and emotionally satisfying ending.’
-- Jo Cotterill‘Hero is a great galloping adventure with wolves and horses and secrets that reminded me of Joan Aiken. A lovely read!’
-- Catherine Johnson‘Hero the Highway Girl is the kind of book that wraps around you, drawing you deep into the story and its unforgettable characters. Set in the Georgian world of highwaymen, the lineage of upper class families and girls with little power over their own destiny, Hero the Highway Girl is overflowing with determination and courage.’
