Flight to Riches

Five children are naturally disappointed, when their mother cancels their annual holiday abroad. Luckily, Ana, a long-standing family friend steps in to ?bridge the gap?, inviting the children to holiday with her on her vineyard in Spain. The vineyard is superbly situated: close to Marbella and just around the corner and up a mountain path from the British colony of Gibraltar. But will the children?s parents agree? Will they let them fly abroad all by themselves? What?s more, the children have a secret. They haven?t told their parents, but they?ll also be searching for gold! The gold is rumoured to have lain in Ana?s Spanish vineyard, longer than anyone can remember and has been associated with strange and bizarre goings on. The children could come back as self-made millionaires, but they suspect the local building contractor has already beaten them to it and stolen Ana?s gold. In which case, will they be able to recover the stolen gold and become super-rich? There are many potential pitfalls awaiting them on this holiday, literally and otherwise. Added to this, the vineyard is threatened by drought as a result of climate change. Will this all make for the good and memorable holiday they were hoping for? An exciting, factual and informative adventure for young readers, written by an author who knows this spectacular and special area well, having lived in Gibraltar and toured nearby Spain. Besides putting this stunning area on the map, the book is a must-read for logical and imaginative minds alike.
