Review:
'The [adults] share in the magic, which is sophisticated but classic ... sinister power is compellingly conveyed.' -- The Guardian 'There is a real study of the nature of good and evil underlying the story ! a good book as well as a most unusual one.' -- TLS This book combines a wonderful suspenseful atmosphere with an intriguing tale of a girl struggling to grow up. An eerie read for any girls who long for a bit of adventure and independence -- achuka 20030301 'Josephine Poole ! is expert at building up tension from small details and creating menace ! This sensitivity to the characters' own uncertainties enhances the mysteries ! but it is also what gives the books an atmosphere which is remembered long after the plot is forgotten.' -- Twentieth Century Children's Writers 20030301
