The story also features the town’s RNLI inshore lifeboat and imagines the little house that sits on the hill is, in fact, a secret entrance to Bob’s cave.

Mum of three Sarah said: “Children’s literature is a massive passion of mine.

“It gives children and adults alike a form of escapism from the world around them as they dive into all sorts of adventures.

“Especially at the moment this form of escapism is more important than ever, which is what has finally given me the motivation to get my first book published.”
