A Pennyworth of Peppermints is an exciting mystery spy story for 8-11s, set in Dorset in the First World War.

While scouring their local beach for driftwood, friends Ben and Sidney stumble upon an exciting treasure - a message in a bottle! The note is written in rhyme, but is it merely a poem, or something far more important?

As the boys delve deeper into the mystery, joined by Sidney's sister Vera, they uncover clues that lead them into a thrilling adventure. But danger looms: who is the shadowy stranger with the black gloves? Can the friends unravel the puzzle before something terrible happens?

Set against the backdrop of the Great War, this heart-warming tale weaves mystery, adventure, and faith, showing how courage and trust in God can help, even in the darkest times.
