“I thought you wanted to be scared.”
Phil Hickes is an absolute legend when it comes to middle grade horror. His Aveline Jones and Shadowhall Academy series have had readers on the edge of their seats but The Last Day of October is next level. Overflowing with autumn vibes, the thrill of North American Hallowe’en, a real haunted house and the kind of adventure that only happens with friends, this story is the stuff of nightmares. Readers in Years 5-8 will devour it – deliciously scared and unable to put it down. The Last Day of October is the perfect October class read aloud with laughs, nervous smiles and shared horror as the story unfolds.
Barrington Stoke creates entertaining, meaningful, hugely engaging stories that are accessible and empowering for readers. With dyslexia-friendly font, spacing and page tint, everyone can enjoy these books. The manageable length and carefully chosen vocabulary encourages success and brings readers back for more.
It’s my great pleasure to share a sneak peek at the first chapter of The Last Day of October!
