Author's Note

"Sometimes doing the wrong thing for the right reason, is the honourable choice, Jude. Even if it isn't strictly legal."
**************************
Twelve-year-old Jude Jackson has run away from every foster family he's been placed with. As he sees it, he doesn't belong there. He has a family, even if he doesn't know where they are.

After pickpocketing the wrong man, Jude finds himself placed in the first home he can't run from - a crooked lighthouse in the Cornish sea. But for once, it appears that Jude needs to run. With num-chuks in the laundry cupboard, explosives in the pantry and a secret, state-of-the-art control room hidden in the depths of the island, his new foster family aren't quite what they seem.
