Phil Hickes is back with another story that will make you shiver and double check dark corners before going to sleep. Ghost Story Society is the second terrifying instalment in the wonderfully creepy Shadowhall Academy series. Set in the dark, cold month of January, it’s the perfect story to read cuddled up under a blanket.
Readers rejoin Lillian, Serena, Marian & Angela at their ghostly boarding school, Shadowhall Academy. This brilliant quartet have become a lot more confident since we last spent time with them, having started their own Ghost Story Society. Sneaking out of their rooms late at night to scare each other silly with deliciously creepy tales of the supernatural leads them to much more than they bargained for. An older girl warns them of a haunted book hidden in the theatre department. Encouraging children to record their darkest secrets, this genuine witch’s spellbook brings their confidences to life in ways they never imagined.
As the girl’s dare to test the book’s magic, they realise it’s more than just a bit of fun. What starts innocently enough soon escalates to terrible danger and the scariest tea party you’ve ever seen! A secret from Lillian’s past turns sinister, teaching them all an important lesson: Don’t go looking for trouble – you just might find it!
The thrill of belonging to a secret club, sinister whispers and the threat of a dark magic taking control combine to create an utterly unputdownable book readers will devour!
Thank you to Usborne Publishing and NetGalleyUK for an early read of this fantastic book!
