Gervase Phinn Synopsis: Dominic’s Discovery is a standalone children’s novel by Gervase Phinn. Dominic’s middle name is trouble, but not because he’s got a troublesome nature, but quite simply because he’s ALWAYS in the wrong place at the wrong time. So it’s not surprising that he’s only allowed on the school trip to Thundercliff Bay – home to pirate legend, chilling ghost stories and lost treasure – by the skin of his teeth. Or that strict Mr. Risley-Newsome, who has his beady eye on him, makes him stay at the youth hostel for forgetting his walking boots. What is surprising is that a very special discovery made by Dominic saves the day when the whole class is in serious danger, and proves to everyone that sometimes he can be in the right place at the right time.
