The Secret of Helmersbruk Manor

'This is an intriguing mystery tale. The book is also an exquisite object, beautifully bound with gold lettering and a deliciously spooky front cover image - a hefty, impressive Christmas present... Will draw in curious over-12s, with a layered mystery to solve and a satisfying emotional resolution' - Big Issue, Kids' Books of the Year

'Ideal to snuggle up with on a chilly evening, this evocative, gentle ghost story for 9+ has a hint of Tom's Midnight Garden' - Guardian

'An authentic classic ghost story that speaks to Victorian traditions, while also bringing an accessible modern sensibility... It would make an excellent advent gift' - Irish Times

'So compelling and absorbing that it is impossible to put down! A brilliant, gripping story - perfect for Christmas, but a great read at any time of year!' - Through the Bookshelf

'The story is told in 24 chapters, each just the right length to be read aloud before bedtime, beginning with a beautiful illustration by Elin Sandstrom, and ending in a suitable cliffhanger. The idea is to read one chapter a day, in 'real time' with the story, until the happy conclusion on Christmas Eve, a concept I find utterly charming. However, it is such an enjoyable read that it might be difficult to ration it' - Swedish Book Review
