The Moontree: a tale of midwinter

by Ruth Snowden, Emma Martin (Illustrator)

Why is Grub so confused and afraid of growing up? What is the secret behind the ivy covered door in her dreams? This is a story for midwinter, when days are short and shadows whisper in the corners. Snuggle up and close the curtains tight, in case anything is trying to peer in... ...Welcome to Gorthwaite, a village somewhere in England. Walk the winding path of the maze and explore Bone Hill, if you dare. Was that the distant howl of the terrible Bone Hill Hound? Or did you glimpse the ghostly hooded Boggle? When Grub’s dad unearths an ancient cup with strange markings, dark forces are unleashed and Grub is involved in ways she’d rather keep secret. With a little wise help from Miss Evans, a rather peculiar old lady, she eventually puts things to rights and also faces some of her own darkest fears. A new story from well loved author Ruth Snowden; illustrated by Emma Martin. For competent readers aged about 10-13.
