Description:

Fun-loving twins Nick and Katie are always on the lookout for adventure — but their world is turned upside down when they lose their parents in a car accident. Sent to live with weak-willed Uncle Charlie and his cold, unwelcoming wife Aunt Margaret, the children are relieved at least to still have each other. But Aunt Margaret soon tires of them, and when she threatens to split the twins up and send them to separate foster homes, Nick and Katie hatch a daring plan: to run away and build a secret hideaway deep in the woods. With the help of their kind young neighbour Laura and her mischievous dog Russet, they set about making the hollow tree their home. Can they stay hidden — and what will become of them when their secret is discovered? Part of Blyton's classic Riddle (Young Adventurers) series.
