I hope that cutie Harold will be there too! This book was incredible and I cannot wait for the sequel to come out. I have to give a special mention to the bookseller, Ernst Liberman, who is a wonderfully warm, eccentric character, kind-hearted with a wealth of bookish knowledge, who utters the lines that are very close to my heart … “ … Books are the most precious thing in all the world …”The cover and inside illustrations by Keith Robinson are stunning and complement the spooky vibe of this story perfectly. Aveline is a booklover who has a predilection towards those of the spooky kind – you know, the kind that keep you awake at night or, even worse/better, wake you up in the middle of the night!

I can’t wait to be in her company again. Ghost obsessed, cheese sandwich loving Aveline is a likeable and intrepid protagonist, and the other characters are well-drawn, too, particularly her prickly aunt and the terrifying spectre of Cora Poole. An excellent book (and perfect Halloween story) for young readers who enjoy being scared. I can’t get enough of books with people I can imagine myself meeting and books set in places I can see myself visiting for real.

Aveline is an avid fan of books, specifically ones focused on ghosts, and it means we get a whole chapter of her visiting a second-hand book shop and scouring the shelves. An enjoyable read and i'll definitely keep an eye out for the sequel. There are some genuinely bone chilling moments which thrilled me, and this is exactly the sort of book I’d seek out as a child.

Aveline is a wonderful protagonist who shows great courage, determination and strength despite her understandable fear. Is there any truth in a local almost forgotten ghost story?

The book is great . I am in awe of how enticingly the eerie atmosphere has been portrayed through the senses: a seaside town in winter, stormy weather, crashing waves, child-like scarecrows, scratching noises, unexpected occurrences and sightings, shocking revelations, the threat of danger … this is definitely a story that made me jumpy and read some parts from behind my fingers, and I loved it for being able to do that! there is a very limited use of words in it and a great grammar .

After visiting the most wonderful dusty old second-hand bookshop, she buys a book of folklore about local ghosts and phantoms. Even before I was done with the first chapter I wanted to be Aveline Jones or at the very least friends with her. Why are scarecrows placed outside homes in the lead up to Halloween? This book was gorgeous.

I could almost smell the sea, hear the wind and I swear I felt shivers at the back of my neck. Aveline is a girl after my own heart in that regard. She is intent on solving the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Primrose, and feels an affinity with her as she learns more and more about her.
