PENGUIN Shadowghast

There is something about Thomas Taylor’s writing that just dazzles. Having read Malamander for the first time this summer, I devoured the next two in quick succession.But my goodness, is Shadowghast my favourite. The writing is sublime, wonderfully descriptive and playful in a way I can’t remember reading before. It has been a very long time since I have read a book (series!) that has stuck with me as much as the Eerie-on-the-Sea series has.Shadowghast appeals to me the most for the spooky, Halloween element to the plot. The creature’s origin story is delightfully eerie (living up to the brand name) and it leaves you guess what is going to happen throughout the story. Extremely engaging and I shall be recommending the whole series to the children I taught last year who have now moved into Year 5 and will undoubtedly enjoy it as much as I have.

I loved my first two visits to Eerie on Sea, after the summer visitors have gone. I was excited for this new adventure and it didn't disappoint. Herbie and Vi are great characters and their stories are shared by a host of quirky residents of Eerie.Can't wait for the next adventure....

Great book, follows on the story, my son was glued to it

Consegna puntuale e in condizioni impeccabili, libro consigliatissimo

Kids really enjoyed this series. Not too scary and exciting novel for elementary school kids.
