Cover Story
Our front cover this month features an illutration by Mark Longworth for Gillian Cross's new paperback, The Revenge of the Demon Headmaster. Puffin publish this book in April 1995 (see the Gillian Cross Authorgraph for full details) and we are grateful to them for their help in using this illustration.
The Whitby Child
Many readers will be waiting for the third part of the Whitby books. Robin Jarvis is very popular and this continues both the story and the style: high fantasy, grotesque demons and, in the battle of good and evil, we know who will win, even if the struggle is dramatic and takes an awful long time. Will Aunt Boston succumb to age and the angel who wants to take her off? Will Nelda succumb to the curse of the Aufwader women? Will Jennet become a witch and betray brother Ben? Read on. Good for reading stamina and for strengthening the arm muscles.
