Description
Buried treasure. Hidden secrets. One golden chance.
Legend says the cliffs by the seaside town of Edge are riddled with smugglers’ tunnels, and that gold is stashed in their caves. Freya and her best friend, Lin, love searching for treasure on the beach, but they steer clear of the dark and twisting tunnels. It’d be easy to get lost in there, and Freya’s sure she can hear voices echoing from them when the wind blows.
Then a mysterious woman moves into Freya’s granny’s B&B and soon everything that Freya loves about Edge is under threat. It’s time for Freya to face her fears. Can she strike gold before time runs out for her town?
A gripping, contemporary adventure with brilliant twists and turns perfect for readers age 9+, from the author of Looking for Emily.

This is my second book by publisher Nosy Crow, and I'm a forever fan now. Freya's Gold is a perfect tale of adventure for middle graders, who will be entranced by the story of hidden gold in smuggler's tunnels in the seaside town of Edge. And what a cover! Highly recommended for readers age 9+ and adults still young at heart.

Nosy Crow does it again, every book my daughter has read from this publisher has been a huge hit, she looks for the crow now in bookshops/libraries.
Thoughts from my 10 year old::
Freya's Gold was a brilliant story of mystery and secrets. I really liked the setting especially the sections in the cave. Freya and Lin were really good characters and I loved reading about them. This book was hard to put down, I read it way past my bedtime under the covers on my mum's kindle as I had to find out what happened.
I would recommend this to anybody who likes a mysterious story . Recommended for age 8+
Five stars, such a good read.

Ah! This was brilliant! Just loved it so much! It’s a very short book at a couple of hours to read, absolutely jam packed with adventure.
I love stories set at the seaside, and this captures the seaside, tourist b&b setting perfectly (having spent my childhood holidays in these towns). I adored all of the characters- even the baddie was perfect.
An absolutely fantastic, fun filled, exciting book!
My thanks to Netgalley and Nosy Crow for the advance copy in exchange for an honest review.
