Review
A six-book series of supernatural horror scares that will hook even the most
reluctant readers. www.parentsintouch.co.uk An edge-of-the seat horror story
set in the past… With short, well-spaced sentences and dark illustrations
this is a nail-biting treat for dyslexics and book-reluctant teens. Irish
Examiner The black and white illustrations match the sinister tone of the
stories brilliantly. These…stories are gripping and will be highly motivating
and confidence-building for reluctant readers. –The School Librarian
