The Orchard on Briar Lane

By Doug Bayliss

The Orchard on Briar Lane

Some places feel wrong the moment you step into them.

When Billy and Mia take a shortcut through the old orchard on Briar Lane, they expect nothing more than a quicker way home. Instead, the quiet feels heavier than it should, the ground is uneven beneath their feet, and familiar paths no longer make sense.

As daylight fades, the orchard reveals its dangers slowly-misleading turns, hidden obstacles, and unsettling moments that test their focus and judgment. To make it out safely, Billy and Mia must stay calm, pay attention to their surroundings, and rely on each other when panic would be easier.

The Orchard on Briar Lane is a grounded, suspenseful mystery for readers ages 8 and up. Perfect for children who enjoy slightly eerie settings, realistic danger, and adventures that feel like they could be close to home.
