First Room 13, now Inside the Worm - Robert Swindells should produce a series of books with the qualities of these two titles. Here are short, finely-paced chapters, action without melodrama, chill without garish theatricality. A festival celebrating 1000 years of freedom from the Elsworth Worm, vanquished by the maid Ceridwen, takes on a sinister element. The four children inside the Worm's costume become instruments of its latent malevolent power. Read on and make sure this is a class set!
