What is The Lost Orchard about?

Paul Duggan, aged eleven, lives in tiny, rural Darkfield on the borders of the beautiful and mysterious wetlands known as the Callows. Darkfield is 'the last place on Earth to be discovered,' according to Paul's sarcastic teacher, Mr. McGrane. But discovery comes eventually - planes are seen flying over the village, and a mining company begins buying up the land for open-cast mining. Will the change bring wealth and happiness, as the villagers hope - or run and death? Only old, eccentric Magpie O'Brien seems to now the true answer. But then Magpie knows a lot of things... As Magpie alone stands up to the threat the mine poses to his beloved Callows, Paul and his friend Cora stand up to Raymie Boland, the school bully - with unexpected consequences.
