Yachats author Prue Warren may have discovered the secret to cultivating a literary adventure in her newest book, "Secrets of Wickham Lane," a juvenile mystery featuring a host of colorful characters led by heroine, Jessie, and Wickham, the cat. Fashioned as a sequel to Warren's first novel, "Heart's Desire Cottage," published in 2006, Secrets is full with puzzles that test time perceptions, spooky stairways, secret tunnels, wacky characters, and mysterious passageways.


While Jessie and her friends - Tommy, Uncle Mac, and Mrs. Merryweather - collaborate on solving the mysteries of the strange old family cottage, they uncover more plots and surprises at every twist and turn. The rambling old cottage is filled with tricks and tricksters. Wickham and feline friend, Trouble, stir up additional animal activity. Jessie's Aunt Carpathia seems to possess very unusual abilities, a passion for globetrotting, and who knows when she will suddenly appear?


These delightful ingredients that Warren crafts into this story makes this book hard to put down. While she targets younger readers, it is an imaginative read for any age group, Warren says, "Kids can appreciate the way young Jessie, Tommy and their friends solve puzzles with imagination and spunk."

The author adds, "Although youngsters can enjoy the two books by themselves, I intended the stories to be fun
for grandparents to share with children, remembering their own childhood games and adventures."
