In a nutshell: ghostly thrills, chills and humour and a pair of child ghost-busters
Readers will be gripped from the opening chapter of this, and if they enjoy fast-moving, well-plotted spooky mystery stories – and who doesn’t? – they’re in for a real treat. No-one believes Bunny Smallbone when she says a monster kidnapped her little brother so she turns to S.C.R.E.A.M., investigators of supernatural crime and mysteries.
Its young investigators Charley (Charlotte) and Billy are soon on the case and quickly realise that the town’s legendary monster the Hobb-Hound may not be so legendary after all. With nods to Victorian gothic but with thoroughly modern sensibilities and a great pair of young heroes this is unputdownable stuff and easily walks away with the page-turner prize. ~ Andrea Reece
A message from the author: “With S.C.R.E.A.M. I wanted to have my cake and eat it! I love adventures, I love detective stories, I love monsters and I love to laugh. I’ve done my best to mix all of those ingredients together and write a series chockful of thrills, chills and humour… two children solving supernatural crimes, outthinking the adults, outwitting the villains, and coming face to face with classic monsters.”
Roll up, roll up, if you dare to Doctor Vindicta's carnival! Gasp at the dancing ghosts! Grimace at the creepy clowns!
