A great children's adventure story (for children and adults!) in its own right but also a tale of friendship, dealing with peer pressure and real life issues such as smoking and accepting that it is ok to be different!. The Anne in the title is an android left in the charge of a group of friends, Gezz, Malcolm and Luke. They have to help Anne integrate into society and everyday life while she in turn uses her special skills to help them solve the mystery of Century Lodge, who are the mysterious Foundation? Is there really a secret base under the disused mill? A story suitable for all ages but especially popular with the 9-12 year old age group, Will Hadcroft has also this story to help youngsters understand that we can be individuals. Many readers have identified Anne's automaton responses as Aspergic and this book can help children and adults gain an understanding on how those with Asperger's often see the world.
