Behind the Twisted Fence Kindle Edition

4.0 out of 5 stars 1 rating

Lose yourself in a captivating story of magic and mischief following 12-year-old Zelie as she battles the evil that lurks a decade after Jack chopped down the beanstalk.

Jack says magic is illegal and dangerous but he won't say why. Nobody will. All Zelie knows is that something happened long ago behind the twisted fence that changed everything. There are rumours of course: of giants, witches, and other made up things. But magic is real enough. Even Jack uses it sometimes. It can't be that bad, can it?

Zelie can't tolerate the secrets any longer and decides to peek behind the twisted fence. In her quest for answers, she finds some magic beans just like Jack's, and a strange wand that only responds to unselfish spells. Exploring the lighter side of magic, she meets three gnomes who know the truth, and a boy called Sawyer who would rather believe the lies. Zelie becomes more and more daring and experimental with magic until people start getting hurt—including Jack—and the real evil is revealed. She realises too late that the rumours were true. And now she's put the whole village in danger. Chopping down a beanstalk won't be enough this time. But what can two children and a trio of gnomes do?

James was born in Darwin, on the north coast of Australia. When he wasn't on an adventure of his own, he loved reading and writing about people who were.

How exciting it was to read stories of strong characters whose bravery and passion lead them into and beyond danger. These were the stories James wanted to create.

When James's daughter was eight years old, she asked him to write her a story. James sat down with an idea for a twist on the classic fairy tale, Jack and the Beanstalk. After years of work, a polished story emerged in the form of James's first novel, Behind the Twisted Fence. His second novel, Shadow Creepers, came the following year, setting up a pattern that would set James's mind to writing and publishing at least one great book per year.

He currently lives and writes in Thailand but, like his stories, where he will go next is impossible to predict.

    Jack and the Beanstalk and more.....magic. As an adult who enjoys children's books this is an exciting magic tale. I wanted to race to the end to see what happened. Would make a lovely animated film.
