‘Shadowhall Academy: The Whispering Walls’ by Phil Hickes

Lilian’s first night at her new boarding school is interrupted by a sinister tapping on the walls and her roommates tell her the story of ‘Cold Mary’ (a brilliantly spine-chilling invention!) – the ghost of a former student who haunts their dormitory. But this is not the only strange thing going on at Shadowhall Academy. With the help of her new friends, Angela, Marian and Serena, Lilian must investigate the mysterious happenings and solve a centuries-old curse. 

This is a fantastically fun and creepy ghost story, from the author of the ‘Haunting of Aveline Jones’ series, perfect for those who love scary books. I had the ARC on my desk at school and it generated a lot of interest so I know it will be popular in the library!

Thanks to Usborne for the ARC.
