Moonstone Summary

Moonstone by Laura Purcell

From award-winning bestseller Laura Purcell comes her YA debut, MOONSTONE.

Dont misbehave. Beware the moon. And never go out after dark . . .

Following a scandal at the Vauxhall pleasure gardens, Camille is sent to the woods to live with her reclusive godmother and her strange daughter, Lucy. Cast out from polite society, she must learn to live by her godmothers strict rules.

Camille has never met anyone quite like Lucy before, and as they grow closer and cross forbidden boundaries, strange things begin to happen. Mysterious deaths, claw marks raking the doors, and the nights are pierced by the howls of a creature that sounds almost . . . otherworldly.

Should Camille be more afraid of whats hiding in the woods or her own heart?

From the award-winning, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Silent Companions, Moonstone is a haunting gothic romance with real bite.

PRAISE FOR THE SILENT COMPANIONS

Ghost stories are for Christmas. Some recent ones havent quite got it right but this is terrific. Perfect setting, great build-up, chilling. What more could you want?

Layering on the dark and creepy, this intriguingly plotted novel is the full-blown Gothic, maintaining throughout an unsettling claustrophobic atmosphere mixed with some unusual historical detail
