Overview

They only went to Bamburgh Castle for a rainy-day trip. They came back with a secret that could change history... The Frosterly Close Gang are back - louder, muddier and cheekier than ever. Mark and Grant Hamilton and their best mates Craig and Nick Oakes are supposed to be having a normal, cheap-and-cheerful North East holiday in a caravan at Seahouses: fish and chips, arcade ""arks"", football on the beach and dodging seagulls. But when a boring castle tour at Bamburgh turns into a real-life Goonies-meets-Indiana-Jones moment, the lads stumble on a hidden passage, a secret chamber and relics that might just be linked to the Knights Templar and King Arthur's sword itself... They swear to keep it quiet. Then an American professor turns up at Framwellgate Comp - a relic hunter who looks exactly like Indiana Jones - and says he's come to Bamburgh to look for Templar treasure. When the boys show him the Roman coin they ""found by accident"", the Real Grand Caper begins. Soon the Frosterly Close Gang are juggling: 1980s school life on a rough-and-ready Durham council estate Rocky Balboa-style boxing training and murder-ball on Dog Poo Park French exchange chaos, first crush disasters and dodgy PE lessons And a dangerous underground mystery beneath Bamburgh Castle that adults have missed for centuries... Packed with 80s nostalgia, street football, laugh-out-loud banter and a big-hearted adventure full of friendship, courage and a bit of daftness, The Frosterly Close Gang: The Real Grand Caper is perfect for: Confident readers aged 9-14 Fans of The Goonies, Super Mario Logan, Diary of a Wimpy Kid-style humour with more heart and history Parents and grandparents who grew up in the 70s/80s and want to share that world with their kids This is Book 3 in the Frosterly Close Gang series, but can be enjoyed as a standalone 1980s kids' adventure. If your child loves football, castles, secret tunnels and kids who get into trouble for the right reasons, they'll feel right at home with the Frosterly Close Gang.
