RELEASES NOVEMBER 2025

The Olympitis father and daughter team are back with this second instalment of the Whispers in the Park series...

Now in vibrant colour, Whispers in the Park: The Prophecy is the thrilling second book of Emmanuel and Olympia Olympitis's enchanting series. As winter draws in around St James’s Park, a mysterious new arrival sends shockwaves through the centuries-old school for grey squirrels. A red squirrel descendant of the school’s legendary founder joins the ranks in a haunting echo of an ancient prophecy.

Meanwhile, for young students Shane and Sophie, and their new friend Rufus, their tranquil life among the foliage is about to become increasingly perilous. St James's is soon under threat from the shadowy underworld of cunning foxes, ruthless rats and powerful enemies as a sinister plot emerges against the nearby royal palaces. But with Headmaster Horatio Hoyland on high alert and the ever-watchful Siamese detective Sam on the case, there is always hope that disaster can be averted.

Bursting with charm, intrigue and unforgettable characters, Whispers in the Park: The Prophecy is a spellbinding tale of courage, friendship and the fight to protect a legacy perfect for fans of The Wind in the Willows and Redwall.
