All is not as it seems and soon Jake will discover that something is very, very wrong ...

Reviews

"Delightfully chilling ... Priestley is the M.R. James of children's literature" -- The Times "With a masterful build-up of tension and discomfort, this creepy story is unnerving and chilling rather than overtly terrifying but readers of a sensitive disposition should probably read it with the lights on" -- BookTrust "Chris Priestley knows just how to tell horror stories" -- LoveReading4Kids "A true master ... [who] needs very few words to be seriously scary" --The Book Smugglers "If you're looking for something to get the heart racing and the hairs on the back of your neck rising without being overpoweringly spooky, this will do the trick" -- The Letterpress Project
