Aveline’s archaeologist uncle disappeared in mysterious circumstances some years ago and there’s been no sign of him since.
Visiting his house with her mum and aunt, plus best friend Harold, Aveline is determined to find out what happened, even though the signs point to an ancient barrow, long regarded by the locals to be haunted by evil faeries. Tricked into visiting the barrow on the evening of the winter solstice, Aveline and her friends come face to face with the menacing Lord Hemlock and the possibility of disappearing for ever.
This is the third story about Aveline and each one is well told and deliciously creepy, just the thing to add a frisson of fear as the nights draw out and highly recommended for anyone who likes stories that send shivers down the spine!
Turn on your torches and join Aveline Jones!
Aveline is determined to discover the truth behind her uncle's mysterious disappearance when she travels to his home with Mum and Aunt Lilian. After years of hoping Aveline's uncle would return, they have finally decided to sell his house - but Aveline and Harold have other plans. Sneaking into her uncle's study, Aveline discovers he had been researching possible supernatural activity around an ancient burial mound - and linked this with the unexplained disappearances of other local villagers.
Dark, magical forces are at work, and they'll do anything to remain hidden, as Aveline and Harold soon learn... Join the world of Aveline Jones, where mysteries are solved, spirits are laid to rest, and everybody gets to bed on time.
Perfect for adventurers aged 9+ and fans of Michelle Harrison, Piers Torday and Jamie Littler.
Spooky and thrilling - I'll be sleeping with the lights on tonight! - Helena Duggan
Phil Hickes has a passion for horror, ghosts and all things that go bump in the night. His short stories have been published in adult horror anthologies, but Phil turned his hand to writing middle grade as he wanted to create the same visceral thrill he remembers from reading Alan Garner, Clive King and Roald Dahl.
The Haunting of Aveline Jones was his first middle grade novel and he's also the author of a two-book series, Shadowhall Academy as well as his dyslexia friendly novel, The Last Day in October.
