Interest Age 9+ Reading Age 8+. This is a terrific story by an author who really knows how to grab the reader’s attention and hold it. The story is based on a thrilling myth from the north east of England and is a great way to introduce readers to the world of myths and legends. The story is quite short and the words and throughout the book you’ll find some stunning graphic novel style illustrations – this style of book from the ‘reloaded’ series by Barrington Stoke has been incredibly popular in getting reluctant readers reading. This particular book is aimed at 9+ year olds but whose reading age might be a little less. That said, it can also be equally enjoyed by someone a little older who is looking for a really quick read. Readers might also enjoy The Night of the Kelpies and The Ghost of Shadow Vale.
Young Lambton’s used to getting his own way. If he wants to go fishing on a Sunday, then that’s what he’ll do, despite the old man’s warnings. But the creature he catches is evil, and threatens to curse him and his family for the rest of time.
