The Haunting of Jessica Raven
Jessica Raven and her family are on holiday in France, sharing a holiday all the more precious because Adam. Jessica's eldest brother, is dying of Sales' Myasthenia. Jessica meets a mysterious and disturbed group of French children and the most incredible adventure begins. This is genuinely affecting writing, exploring intricately and sensitively the very deepest feelings. I was held at every turn of the plot: moved by tension and tears in equal measure. A superb class text for Year 9 pupils: an exquisite book.
