Meet Ghosts and explore castles and graveyards as Mae and Isla search for a way to save their Nana’s home in this new Lakeland Mystery. One last camping trip of the season ends abruptly with a storm, a frantic call from Nana and a young boy that only Mae and Isla can see. Their Nana has received a letter saying her home is to be demolished to make way for a business park.
Is neighbour Bobby Bellingham’s claims to long lost family ownership the key to helping everyone on Nana Parton’s street? And is there any connection to the strange boy they keep seeing? In this twisting new adventure we see the community coming together to protest the development while Mae and Isla use their unique gifts to try and get to the bottom of Bobby Bellingham’s family mystery and claims to the land.
With their powers of observation and deduction Mae and Isla are relentless in their search for answers. I also like the extra skillset demonstrated by their mother Penny, when dealing with the developers. With ghosts, castles, churches and graveyards in the Lake District setting, The Lad in the Lane makes for a good autumnal read.
Corryn Webb’s bright illustrations once again help to bring Mae and Isla’s investigations to life.
