12-year-old Maggie Thatcher longs to be a courageous Wayfinder Girl. But that’s not very likely; she is barely coping with life as it is, relying on her asthma inhaler, epi-pen, and the support of her best friend, Anahira Waititi. Maggie and Anahira attend a Wayfinder ‘apocalypse training’ camp in London. Despite it being just for fun, the sight of a green-skinned person with other-worldly eyes sends Maggie into a panic, especially as it’s a person that only Maggie can see. And then Maggie learns of a dangerous secret that the Wayfinder Girls have kept hidden from the world. Anahira wants in on the secret. Maggie must decide whether to join her friend, even if she has no idea what that decision will ultimately cost. Will Maggie face her fears and journey into the unknown? A Wayfinder Girls adventure filled with mystery, magic, and mayhem.

I teach the somewhat fantastical subject of economics to teenagers in New Zealand. My first foray into publishing were two articles describing my life as a teacher, entitled 'Enter the Dragons Den' and 'The Cow Stole my Radio'. As an amateur make-believer, I tried to bring some magic into the everyday with my two daughters when they were little, whether it was describing how automatic doors open, with magic, or in noting, when we'd driven some distance at night, that the moon had followed us home. Maggie and the Mountain of Light has been inspired by my daughter's real-life struggles with severe food allergies, asthma and anxiety, and her absolute love of GirlGuiding. Guiding allowed my daughter to participate fully in so many camps and activities, all in a safe and encouraging space. I will be forever grateful to the Girls Guides (Scouts), especially as my daughter successfully completed the Queen's Guide award, presented at a formal ceremony with the Governor-General. I thought it might be fun to explore a story featuring an anxiety riddled heroine, a touch of the fantastical, and a highly respected organisation with a hidden purpose.
