Book 1: Lost and Found

Amelia and Dylan are best friends who are about to have an unforgettable summer.

When Amelia turns twelve, she receives her very own Artificial Intelligence, Mini. But when their neighbour’s beloved dog goes missing, the friends quickly learn that no technology can replace teamwork, quick thinking and keen observation.

Their quest brings them local fame — but there’s no time to rest. When a young boy vanishes at the summer fair, the stakes are suddenly higher than ever. The group must rely on their wits and a dash of courage, to reunite the lost boy with his frantic father.

Full of friendship, mystery and excitement, Lost and Found will take you on an amazing adventure.

About Amelia

Hi, my name is Amelia.

At the start of the Intelligentsia Series, I’m about to turn 12 and get my own Artificial Intelligence. I call her Mini - short for Minerva. Did you know that Minerva was the Roman Goddess of Knowledge and Wisdom? I figure that’s a good name for an AI.

I have a little brother, Philip, who's 8yrs old at the start of the stories. He’s okay, as far as little brothers go. He’s pretty smart and quite artistic. I can’t draw to save my life!

We live next door to Dylan, my best friend. We are always at each other’s place, so it’s like we both have 2 families. His grandma is the best - she plays games with us and bakes us treats all the time. She organises an awesome scavenger hunt for my birthday party. You can come too - if you read our 1st book: Lost and Found.

Join us on our adventures - there’s always room for 1 more.

About Dylan

Hello. My name is Dylan.

At the start of our stories, I’m 11 yrs old. I live with my mum and grandma, next door to Amelia and her brother, Philip.

You should join us for Amelia’s birthday party - Grandma’s made us a scavenger hunt and it’s going to be great!

Our stories are fun and clever - even if I do say so myself. Amelia’s a great storyteller, and you get to read my side of the story too.

Our 1st story is action-packed. We have to scavenge in real life, to help Bill find his lost dog, Rusty. Then a young boy, Tom, goes missing at The Fair, and it’s up to us to find him. I’ll never forget this summer.

Watch out for Book 2. We’re about to start high school - and that’ll be another adventure!
