(Walker Books Ltd)
978-0744517996, RRP £2.99, Paperback
8-10 Junior/Middle
Dark legends are brought to life against a background of rural Norfolk (where the locals are deeply superstitious and deeply suspicious of newcomers) and the break-up of Sonia's parents' marriage. The fantasy veers towards contrivance but the scenes of drama are powerful. Having the battle of the fantasy force enacted through Sonia's baby brother, Robin, is particularly effective and the climax in a great flood is nicely sensational.
