The Children of January (novel)

 was the ninth novel in the The Lucy Wilson Mysteries series published by Candy Jar Books.

Publisher's summary
A new calendar year. A new term. A new set of challenges for Lucy Wilson and Hobo Kostinen.

The two of them discover they’ve been selected to represent their school at a national team event,

that weekend. But why such short notice? Who are the other seven children making up their team?

And why are none of them bothered by the prospect of searching out concealed aliens on the frozen wastes of Dartmoor in January 2020?

Pretty soon, Lucy and Hobo realise that no one is quite what they might seem on this particular weekend away.
