The midnight postbox

By Freya Sparks

Same school. Same postbox.

Same phenomena. 141 years apart.

1885. Ruth is a student at an English high school. After losing an important document, she tries to get it back, but when strange lights and noises happen late at night and things start to disappear from the village postbox, she has to investigate.

2026. Hannah is snubbed by the rest of year ten. When unexpected mail arrives at the old postbox, she finds an unlikely duo is already on the case.

Kids in 1885 and 2026 live very different lives, but some things stay the same. Betrayal, criminal gangs, kidnap, trafficking, coercion and bullying are constants but social media makes it all worse, and people's lives are at stake.

Can Ruth and Hannah work together to see justice done?
