I Don't Do Mountains

Barbara Henderson is the award-winning author of eleven books, including the Young Quills Award-winning novels The Chessmen Thief and The Siege of Caerlaverock, as well as Rivet Boy, winner of the Books for Topics Curriculum Support Award. Her historical and eco-fiction for children is widely studied in schools. Barbara is based in the Scottish Highlands where she still teaches Drama ? but she loves to travel and spread the story-love in classrooms across the country. When she gets the chance, she likes to head outside, often to the nearby hills.

'Henderson's eco-adventure kept me turning thepages faster and faster. Just when I thought the stakescouldn't get any higher, they did! A brilliant story with all the rightingredients; believable but flawed characters, left to fend alone on a wildmountain, wildlife criminals that will stop at nothing, and of course, a loyaldog to help them. After reading I Don't Do Mountains you'll find yourselfstomping up the nearest hill, looking for adventure too.' Gill Lewis, Author'What a fun read! It reminds me of the books I read in mychildhood where I loved the lack of adult involvement and appreciated the childled stories.' Judy Duncan, Teacher'Barbara Henderson tells an engaging tale of how experiencesin nature can change not only how young people feel about the environment, butalso about their relationships and ultimately themselves.'
