Shadowhall Academy: The Whispering Walls

I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a story so much. It's a classic 'just one more chapter' book; genuinely chilling and made my heart thud on several occasions (especially in the library!!). The characters are brilliantly drawn, and I felt like part of the gang as their friendship developed. I especially loved Serena. I also loved the wry humour, and the cold but at the same time homely atmosphere Phil so cleverly builds in the school. I think kids are going to absolutely love it. * Jennifer Killick, author of Dread Wood *
Boarding school and spookiness - Malory Towers gone rogue! Skilful plotting, engaging pace, great character dynamics. Best read on a dark night with tea and a biscuit or five... * Lesley Parr *
Fierce friendships, devious doubles, and a secret that's literally scratching its way out of the walls - Shadowhall Academy is a spooktacular treat. * Jack Meggitt-Phillips, author of The Beast and the Bethany *
The setting and gothic atmosphere Phil has created is chillingly excellent. It's a spooky pitch perfect read. I loved it. * JP Rose, author of The Haunting of Tyrese Walker *
