Night Fright

I know why the publishers do it, but I still think it's a con. The girl on the cover looks at least 14, yet Daisy, our heroine, is all of nine-and-a-half. That aside, it's a decent story. Anna and Daisy's favourite game is to make up possible disasters and they play it ad nauseam. The train journey to London to spend Christmas with Gran affords ample opportunity as does the shopping trip to the West End. Then disaster really does strike as Daisy is separated from Mum and Anna in the crush of the Underground and tries to find her OUTI way home to Ruislip. For the last few stops she's alone in the carriage with a strange man who seems to have been following her. The tension is built steadily though, given the fact that he's a police officer, the man's behaviour towards a lone girl is somewhat odd.
