About The Book
Twelve days.
Five kids.
Many special effects.
One giant mystery.
Hayley Whelan has spent her whole life dreaming of making a horror movie - and not just the type of movie that kids make on their dodgy second-hand iPhones. When her grandma passes away, she inherits the money for a proper, grown-up camera. But before Hayley even calls 'Action!', strange things start happening... Someone is sabotaging Hayley's movie - but who? Why? And can Hayley finish her movie in time for the premiere?
From Australia's brightest new middle-grade talent comes this love song to movies, friendship and the summer holidays.

About The Author
credit to come
Fiona Hardy knew she wanted to be a writer when she was in Grade One and got too many compliments for an underwhelming retelling of Alice in Wonderland. She loves books so much that she sells them, writes them, and has published reviews for them too. Her first book, How to Make a Movie in 12 Days, was a CBCA Notable book and shortlisted for the Speech Pathology Book of the Year Award. Her second book, How to Write the Soundtrack to Your Life, won the 2021 Children's Peace Literature Award.
Fiona lives in Melbourne with a bunch of guitars, a keyboard, a clarinet, a violin, a harmonica and an accordion. Oh, and her partner, daughter, and cat. (The cat doesn't play any of the instruments. Yet.)
