The Candle House

Legends and ghosts of the past, present and future mingle continuously as the villagers of a hidden valley seek to get a grip on their long-held rivalries, their individual fears and their mutual suspicion of a Big Brother Council, that wishes to make 'that odd lot up there' see the economic sense of being subsumed into the Kynaston Country Adventure Trail, which will inevitably change history for ever. The pace and suspense seldom slacken as the narrative builds and switches around a wide array of characters in situations both realistic and mystic. The main characters are a believable bunch. supported by fairly predictable country bumpkin cast of extras. A lively read for lower/mid secondary.
