It's no easy job being the town nutcase. Ella knows from experience. She's grown up in a quaint little place with people who pretend the extraordinary isn't happening around them. They ignore the bumps in the night and won't talk about doors closing by themselves or items moving mysteriously.

They also won't talk about the old woman who haunts the streets, long in her grave but for the nights when a particularly bad storm blows through. Those who do are fibbers, begging for attention.

But Ella knows it is no lie - when the lightning cracks and the rain thrashes, someone goes missing: a child, lost to the night. There is no breaking and entering, no foul play, and no clue as to where they've gone.

Urban legend says that if the old woman stops in front of your house, you're next.

Well, Ella has been next for years. She's resisted the urge to run out into the darkness with everything she has. She’s resisted that old mansion up on the hill, beckoning her. She’s resisted giving into people saying she's crazy.

But then a handsome new boy with a troubled past moves across the street. Suddenly Ella isn't the only one haunted by the old woman. But it's not clear if the new boy is here to help Ella...or help the woman drag Ella up to the mansion.

This is a brilliantly funny scary ghost story, with loads of tention, great characters, with even a who's done it thrown in. Loads of fun to listen to, read brilliantly as always by Nicole Poole.

This is a kids book, about 17 year olds, who act and talk like 12 year olds, voiced by a middle aged woman (who is brill in other audiobooks but jarringly the wrong age for this) with a FOUR HOUR long chase scene in the middle.

Other books by this author are fab: read/listen to them instead.

Buy a different KF Breene book instead :(

It was a lovely story, a very interesting easy listen. I could count stitches and keep up with what was going on which was perfect for me. Having listened to Nicole in the Levelling Up series I was worried some would sound like those characters, however she did herself proud and all were different.

An easy listen

Not as good as authors other books . Narrator excellent as always. Not a bad book but I just didn't feel the connection to characters or the "just another chapter forget the house work" that I get with the authors other books.

Okay read / listen

So, this book is about teenagers, who live in a spooky town and poltergeists living in their houses and haunted buildings.
Ella has been haunted for many years by the old lady that stands outside her house and when Braydon moves in across the street, she seems to be asking for him to protect Ella.
Ella is also more or less bullied for her knowledge of ghosts etc, and growing up with the same kids over the years has made her feel an outcast from the popular kids.
All in all a group of what I imagine are 18yr olds (?) break into the mansion to find out whether it is haunted or not!
I enjoyed the story and the general creepiness of the atmosphere added to it. I think it would make a great film!
Narration was good.

Spooky! 👻
