The Haunting of Aveline Jones Reviews

This spooky story is a Halloween treat * The Times, Children's Book of the Week *
I raced through The Haunting of Aveline Jones. The world of Malmouth is perfectly drawn, with lots of lovely atmospheric touches, and the story is genuinely shivers-down-the-spine creepy. * Jennifer Killick, author of Crater Lake *
Spooky and thrilling - I'll be sleeping with the lights on tonight! * Helena Duggan, author of A Place Called Perfect *
