Description
xA spookily magical Christmas tale full of mystery and suspense, from the prize-winning author of The Mystery of Raspberry Hill. Twelve-year-old Flora and her mother are spending the Christmas holidays in the little seaside town of Helmersburk, in a cottage in the grounds of a grand old tumbledown mansion, straight out of a fairy tale.
Flora explores the beautiful old house and its grounds and soon falls under its spell. She finds mysterious porcelain figurines, has strange, vivid dreams and hears eerie whispers in the night.
As Christmas Eve approaches, Flora learns that the beautiful old manor is in danger, and the only way she can save it is to solve the mystery burried in its past. Can Flora discover the secret of Helmersbruk Manor before she has to return home?
This spine-tingling winter ghost story is perfect for curling up with on a cold night, and ideal for fans of The Mystery of Black Hollow Lane by Julia Nobel, Frost Hollow Hall by Emma Carrol and the Aveline Jones series by Phil Hickes. Each of its 24 chapters starts with a beautiful illustration by Elin Sandstrom, making this the perfect treat in the run-up to Christmas - one chapter for every night of advent!
The author, Eva Frantz, is an award-winning writer of crime novels for adults. Her first book for children, The Mystery of Raspberry Hill, won the Runeberg Junior Prize.
