September 2021 Book of the Month

If you’re looking for a creepy place for a holiday, Eerie-on-Sea has it all – mysterious creatures in the waves, strange figures prowling at night, and an end of the pier show to top it all. Fortunately, in the company of the Grand Nautilus Hotel’s lost-and-found boy Herbie Lemon and his best friend Violet, the spooky goings-on are tinged with just the right amount of fun. In their company readers have already experienced adventures that would make your niblets go knobbly (as Herbie would say), they haven’t faced anything like the Shadowghast, a terrifying horned spirit, permanently hungry for shadows. The story plays out in Eerie’s misty, candlelit October nights, when it’s harder than ever to distinguish what’s real and what’s just an illusion. Herbie and Violet’s friendship is tested as never before and the whole town is in danger. Thomas Taylor is as good at creating characters as he is at conjuring up spooky settings and thrilling adventures, which is very good indeed. Newcomers to Eerie and regular visitors are in for tricks and treats!

This gripping story is bound to amuse you in the best way. I could not put it down, not even for a second.

Herbie and his best friend Violet are off on another exciting adventure. Ever since his aunt Caliastra arrived strange things have been happening. First, Violet's guardian disappears and then more people follow. Can this be linked to Herbie's Aunt or is this just a coincidence?
This book was awesome and made me read all the previous books in this action-packed series, and I read it in less than a day! I could not put it down, not even for a second, and I really enjoyed this experience.... Read Full Review
