Roo and the Secret of Barnacle Bay (Roo’s Big Adventures)

A seaside holiday. A sleepy harbour full of secrets. One very curious dog.

Roo is off on a big holiday adventure to Barnacle Bay — a place of bobbing fishing boats, towering lighthouses, salty air… and excellent snacks. Expecting days filled with ice cream and beach walks, Roo soon discovers that this charming seaside town is hiding a mystery just beneath the surface.

As Roo’s holiday begins, strange clues start to appear. Whispers of an old secret drift through the cobbled streets, and Roo finds herself at the heart of an adventure far bigger than her holiday plans.

Beautifully illustrated throughout, Roo and the Secret of Barnacle Bay is a richly illustrated chapter book filled with memorable characters, cosy seaside charm, and gentle humour. From creaky lighthouses to glowing ice-cream shops, every page invites young readers to linger, look closely, and return again and again.

Perfect for children aged 6–9, this illustrated chapter book is ideal for bedtime reading, shared story time, and young readers building confidence — a heartwarming seaside adventure with a gentle mystery at its core.
