The Haunting of Pip Parker
Illustrated by Emma Chichester Clark
This award-winning author has produced another unforgettable book. It's Christmas Eve and poor Pip Parker is too scared and tired to be excited for she cannot yet banish the horrible skull shape from her bedroom wall. She suffers the awful tiredness of many sleepless nights, the loneliness of being doubted, and the fear and frustration of the skull's endurance. All this is very real for the reader as it's written in the confiding first-person and this predicament could so easily occur! 7- and 8-year-olds loved this and it really got them thinking!
