I haven't charted out my visits for the summer term, but I'm sure there are several in the south) and thanks so much for being so fantastic! It’s all about the dead here, she’s told, and in the heart of the house she soon discovers all manner of dark secrets . Not because she likes him like all of the other girls in the village but because she craves adventure and excitement in her life.

Tensions arise between Lady Barrington, Mrs Jessop, the housekeeper, and other members of staff and eventually, after an ill-fated séance, Tilly is dismissed, much to her disappointment for she was determined to unravel the mystery of Hollow Hall. There's just something magical and mysterious about Winter and the cover promises these in abundance. The story is delivered in an enticing way that leaves the reader hungry for more, to the point where you can easily read the book in a single day. But Tilly wasn’t going to let know that she was worried, and she skated right out to the middle of the lake.This boy also appears to her in her dreams and she understands it to be the spirit of Kit Barrington who seems desperate for her to uncover the secrets behind his death. As soon as she becomes fascinated with Kit and how he came to drown, however, she takes up a place as a housemaid at Frost Hollow Hall so that she is able to find out more about him. Your words, like your reviews, bring books to life and give them a voice before the front cover is even turned. It's all about the dead here, she's told, and in the heart of the house she soon discovers all manner of dark secrets . Tilly Higgins is a really headstrong girl who stands up for herself and doesn’t let anyone walk over her.

Durch die ständigen neuen Entwicklungen ist die Neugier immens gewachsen, was es mit dem Tod von Kit Barrington auf sich hat, der vor 10 Jahren im See auf dem Grundstück von Frost Hollow Hall ertrunken ist. Set in the 1800's the author transports us to a world rich in detail, with a protagonist that will instantly win your heart and tells a story that will both chill and excite in equal measure.

This experience has been fantastic primarily for the children, the school and also for me (professionally). Tilly might feel all alone at Frost Hollow Hall with its dark secrets and grief-stricken mistress, but in the background there is Will’s loyalty, humour and bravery – and set against Tilly’s impoverished family life and the eerie circumstances she finds herself in, that’s kinda cool. Ich kann das Buch Freunden von viktorianische Schauergeschichten nur wärmstens empfehlen, genauso wie die anderen Bücher von Emma Carroll- ich wünschte, es gäbe mehr Autorinnen wie sie!
