Just After Midnight

by David M. Cameron

Seeing shadow figures never seemed strange to Dominic. They had visited him for as long as he could remember, but now he realised others didn’t see them. Was that why he was shunned and sent away to a school high on the moors? The ancient history of the moors, the military early warning system and a secret under the school, combine to lead Dominic and his new friends into danger. Who can be trusted, when the truth is hidden?

Set in 1970, on the North Yorkshire Moors, science offers a brave new world and children are taught to respect adults. Who can Dominic turn to when it is those very adults that are the threat? Stanmoor House School hides secrets and the pupils are handpicked. A special school, but some pupils are more exceptional than others. What menace lies beneath? Something watches. Something waits, but it can’t afford to wait too long!

Strange times indeed!

[V.K. May · Rating 5 out of 5]

HIGHLY IMAGINATIVE AND GRIPPING. Having spent a few of my childhood years in Papua New Guinea, and experienced the sense of magic and mystery there, I was intrigued to read this book. And it did not disappoint. The story pivots around young Andrew Stedman who lives in Australia with his family. Despite the distance, curious and sensitive young Andrew manages to form a psychic connection to an isolated village in Papua New Guinea. Unwittingly, he unlocks an evil spirit and must do all he can to stop it from causing any more harm.

Soulmare is a fun, well written YA adventure story about a boy named Andrew who gets stuck with an unlikable teacher. At the start of the school year, he struggles but discovers his peculiar teacher has fascinating stories about his time in Papua New Guinea. Strange dreams taking him to another world and beast like monsters keep the story fresh and interesting. Another great read from David M Cameron.
