Flame (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781539962656)

Fifteen year old Sophie is a lonely girl whose father died. A lonely girl whose mother cares more about drinking than she does about Sophie. Tormented by dreams of her father, Ben's, tragic death, a ghostly boy and a blue door; she dreams of another world residing behind that blue door.

At a new school, where she's not popular with the teachers or the other pupils, Sophie meets Leila who suffers the taunts of the school bullies. Together they develop a close friendship, bonded by their unpopularity and unhappy home lives. Spending time walking across Mill Fields to avoid going back to their miserable homes, Sophie leads Leila to the old derelict haunted house named 'Sunflower Cottage.' The house inspires much curiosity in the girls and promises to be an exciting escape from their everyday lives. After a few bad days at home, the girls decide to return to the house, not as curious visitors but as runaways. To Sophie's surprise they find the blue door of her dreams. It draws them into a dangerous world with no obvious way of return; where danger resides in the very foundations of the house.

Will the entities ever let them leave or are they forever trapped in a dark place?
