Turn on your torches and join Aveline Jones!

Aveline loves reading ghost stories, so a dreary half-term becomes much more exciting when she discovers a spooky old book. Not only are the stories spine-tingling, but it belonged to a girl called Primrose Penberthy, who vanished mysteriously, never to be seen again. Intrigued, Aveline decides to investigate Primrose’s disappearance, with some help from her new friend, Harold.

Now someone…or something, is stirring. And it is looking for Aveline.

The first in a deliciously spine-tingling, spooky new series, where mysteries are always solved, spirits are always laid to rest, and everybody gets to bed on time. Perfect for adventurers aged 9+ and fans of Michelle Harrison, Piers Torday and Jamie Littler.

This book was spine chilling but was very enjoyable. I loved this. It could've been a bit scarier though.

I really was keen to read this book as myself i love reading horror books so i decided to give the book a try. When i read the whole book, it was pretty nice but the only thing the author could have is a bit more to the plots to make it slightly more interesting but overall it was fine.

It really creeped me out which is the best thing about ghosts stories! I am glad I don’t live near the sea so that the ghost of Cora Poole wouldn’t be able to stalk me! I liked Primrose and felt empathy for her because of the fate she suffered. Aveline is a great detective and I have already asked the library for the next one, the bewitching of Aveline Jones.

It was very creepy and scary. My favorite character was Aveline or her aunt. It interested me because when I started reading it I couldn’t put it down and you didn’t see anything coming. I would recommend it to older children because I’m 9 and parts of it scared me. Thankyou for reading this

I borrowed this book from my school library, I didn’t think I would enjoy it as much as I did. This book is another thriller and once you find out what the “scarecrows” are, you will be spooked. This is a MUST HAVE!! On my bookshelf!

I can definitely rate this book more than 110 stars if I could but this spine-tingling tale sends shivers down my spines. Aveline discovers a supernatural book which was owned by a girl named Primrose Penberthy but one story might have really seemed to haunt Primrose and she soon goes missing. Will Aveline and her new bookshop friends find out the mystery behind the tale and Primrose? "I'll be sleeping with the lights on tonight!" You can find out more of Aveline's mysteries in the second book in the series!!!!!
