Nothing Scares Me
From the pen of Carnegie-Award-winning author of The Turbulent Term of Tyke Tiler, Gene Kemp, comes this excellent chiller about a girl with an unwanted gift – the gift of predicting the future. People think vicar’s daughter Petra is weird and she knows that if she wants any friends she’ll have to keep her gift a secret. But then her visions take a sinister turn. She is plagued by the image of a girl walking her dog. And George the ghost-boy is desperately trying to give her a message. What does it all mean?
When Laura Page, a pupil from her school goes missing, the reader is led to assume that Petra’s visions may hold the key to the disappearance. But the peril lies much closer to home as we finally realise that Petra herself is the one in danger; in danger of suffering the same fate as Mary Linley, another local girl who disappeared several years before, never to be seen again.
The tension never lets up from the thrilling prologue to the spine-chilling finale. A gripping read.
