The Glass Children
Kristina Ohlsson, Marlaine Delargy
Billie is forced to leave the only home she’s ever known when her mother decides they should move to a new house in a small town. Musty furniture and odd belongings fill the old, dilapidated building, the ghostly remains of its previous tenants – including two small glass figures, one boy and one girl.
The neighbours and local community are hiding something, Billie can tell – a secret about the house, a secret of its past. Then Billie notices that the glass figures have moved when the house was empty. Soon after, a tiny handprint appears on a dusty table – the handprint of a small child. Billie is certain that they are being haunted.
But her mother thinks Billie is making it up With the help of her new friend Aladdin, Billie desperately tries to uncover the house’s dark, tragic history . . . leading her closer to the chilling truth.

I thought this book had an excellent story line with lovely characters! The way Kristina used her words but an extra feeling in the book. I loved the way that she brought ghosts and spirits into the story and making it sound scary but not too much to give you nightmares.

This book was recommended to me by my teacher and friend. I really think you should read this book as it's a mystery! When Billie and her mum move to a new house, Billie feels that this house isn't right. She hears tapping on her windows at night, the light mysteriously swings to and fro and frightening messages are appearing out of no where. Who is doing this? Is Ella really right about the mysterious Glass Children? And most importantly can Billie and her friends crack the case of The Glass Children? 10+, very scary, horror genre.

This book was awesome to read because it was quite scary, but it was also an amazing story about a girl called Billy and how she was on a mission to find the truth about her so-called 'haunted' house!

This is my absolute favourite book so far. It's a nail biting adventure story with some twists and turns. It also leaves you guessing right until the very end. I would recommend this book for 10+.
