Description
Eight-year-old Adam and his best friend Alex don’t know what it’s like to have a bedtime story read to them. They go to sleep to the sound of gunfire, and are woken by air-raid sirens and bombs exploding as the world outside is slowly destroyed by war. They dream of a quiet life in their own home, surrounded by family, somewhere far away from the chaos and rubble. One day the war ends, but this is only the start of their struggles to find happiness.
With their fates already decided by adults, the boys’ only option is to escape the darkness surrounding them. Their journey soon takes an unexpected turn, however, and they find themselves in foreign lands, unable to speak the local languages and at the mercy of total strangers, some of whom are guarding long-held secrets. Who can they trust? And will they ever find a place to call home?
Full of adventure, mystery and excitement, The Saltamontes Chronicles – Escape from Darkness proves that even when the odds are stacked against you, hope always gives you a second chance.

Author Biography
Monika Marin is now a well-known Polish author of adventure books for children and teenagers, which are popular not just for the fun and excitement, but also for the broad outlook they give on humans and the planet, along with a host of educational and psychological themes. She has an international background – her grandparents came from 4 different countries, and only one of her grandparents was Polish. Her most popular work, The Saltamontes Chronicles, is currently used in Polish schools as a supplementary title, dealing with linking generations and styles and bringing people with different views together. Becoming a writer wasn't an easy process. Monika first did a Master's degree in Education and spent 4 years working with children, but due to the economic situation in Poland at that time, she gave up teaching and started work as a journalist. She wrote articles for Polish magazines that specialised in travel and automotive titles, because motorbikes are her real passion. Travelling around the world and writing went on for several years. When her children were born, she decided to devote her time to them and, while she was based at home, began writing novels. With the success of the Saltamontes Chronicles Trilogy in Poland, Monika is now focussing her energies on a new series of adventures.
