Beaver Towers: The Dark Dream

Nigel Hinton hated school and tried several jobs before returning to education to train as a teacher. He taught for nine years until, encouraged by the sales of his first book, COLLISION COURSE, he became a full-time writer. The hugely successful BUDDY followed, then BUDDY'S SONG which was made into a film for which Nigel wrote the screenplay and nine songs. THE FINDERS won the 1994 Children's Book Award for middle fiction. Nigel Hinton lives in Sussex.

Our children (and teachers) love the Beaver Towers series of books. The children become attached to the characters of Nick and Baby B and really do get taken off on an adventure with them. We often read the first book in the series to the class as a story time book and then so many children take it up and run with the series, devouring the other books! Many are inspired to even try and continue the series by writing the next one.
