The Whitby Witches
My pupils have devoured the Deptford Mice trilogy and this book offers the same lengthy, absorbing read with an attempt by Ben, Jennet and their unusual (92-year-old) foster mother Aunt Alice, to stem the flood of evil influences threatening to overwhelm the quiet town of Whitby. There are the familiar Jarvis creatures here - black witches and dangers to be faced and conquered. His coherent and fluent style carries the reader along swiftly. An essential purchase for library or classroom for Years 7, 8 and 9.
