The Lovereading4Kids comment
This is the fourth title in a brilliant series of quirky tales for 7+ year olds featuring Edgar the faithful raven and the strange Otherhand family who live in Otherhand Castle. Meet Minty who is all in a fluster about the preparations for the Otherhand Ball because Solstice is spraying fake cobwebs everywhere and Valevine is disorganising everyone’s carefully laid plans, whilst Cudweed seems hungrier than ever and is preoccupied with ‘fresh brains’ and then chaos ensues when the lights go out and its Halloween.

Synopsis
Raven Mysteries 4: Vampires and Volts by Marcus Sedgwick
Join the wonderfully weird Otherhand family and their faithful guardian, Edgar the raven, and discover the dark secrets of Castle Otherhand. It's Halloween and the Otherhands are enjoying the Annual Pumpkin Hunt. There's a technique to catching these orange beasties, whipping off their heads and ending up knee-deep in pumpkin goo. The squishy ones are always the best. And pumpkin fun aside there are preparations to be made, at short notice, for the Great Halloween Ball at Otherhand Castle. Minty is all a-fluster. Solstice is busy spraying fake cobwebs everywhere. Valevine is in charge of disorganising everyone's carefully laid plans, and Cudweed seems hungrier than ever and oddly preoccupied with 'fresh brains'. In fact when Silas, Valevine's long lost brother and black sheep of the family, turns up with Samantha and the party is in full swing the Otherhands would be well-advised to check out their guests. It's not long before wily Edgar works out that there's a preponderance of vampires and not all of them have false teeth. Just when he's about to solve the latest mystery at Otherhand Castle, the lights go out...Dedicated website on Raven Mysteries: www.ravenmysteries.co.uk
