I got sucked into this immediately. The chapters alternate between the kids different POVs, but mainly Bobby, Ada, \u0026amp; Tony’s.

Oh and a headless death cult...it's a long story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe idea was to throw a group of North London twelve-year-olds into an extraordinary adventure. To put a different spin on things, I wondered what if these kids had already survived something similar? What if that supernatural experience was so terrifying (never ask them about Norfolk!) that they made a pact to ignore any future calls to adventure? Will they honour that pact when a strange puzzle box, a missing teacher and a new, very smiley, pupil brings the adventure to them?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barry Nugent","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57069951516937,"sku":"9781999723354","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0884\/0845\/7481\/files\/9781999723354.jpg?v=1779190102","url":"https:\/\/scribe-sign.com\/products\/trail-of-the-cursed-cobras","provider":"Scribe \u0026 Sign","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
