It was only the ending that hit a slightly wrong note; I wasn’t unhappy with the way the story played out, and I appreciated that every detail was attended to. Tilly takes part in a 'dare' from friend Will and ends up nearly drowning in Frost Hollow Hall lake while ice skating. I don't normally read YA novels, but I couldn't resist the allure of a Victorian ghost story, and Emma Carroll did not let me down.This would be a great book to read on a cold wintery night, or a cold spooky night lol it’s good anytime though. Doch als ich diesen Titel von Emma Carroll entdeckte, beschloss ich es wieder einmal mit diesem Genre zu versuchen. Several years later I still believe that this book deserves far more attention than it has had to date. The novel was inspired by a ‘winter’s day from Emma’s childhood’, and the vividness of the setting is built up from the very first page.

Aber sie hat nicht nur mit Geldnot zu kämpfen, auch in der Familie selbst fühlt sie sich nicht wirklich angenommen und trägt eine tiefgreifende Traurigkeit in sich, die sie oft einsam macht.

Moontrug likes to make a habit of doing the opposite of what most other people are doing: she goes down up escalators, rushes out into thunderstorms and eats pizza with a lot of ketchup. At the beginning you have this ghostly and spirit vibe and then towards the end you could it was like Romeo and Juliet, both lovers dying because of stupid decisions that their parents made.

You guys are such a force for good and I am a passionate supporter of Indie booksellers, so I'm so happy this worked out well (I'd love to know how many books were sold if you have it to hand - it felt like quite a lot! After nearly drowning in the frozen lake of Frost Hollow Hall she discovers that she has made a connection with the ghost of Kit Barrington and she must help him to put things right. Set in Victorian England, Frost Hollow Hall is an intricate ghost story that is both captivating and surprisingly deep.Außerdem ist Nach über Frost Hollow Hall eine viktorianische Geistergeschichte und für diese Art von Büchern hatte ich schon immer eine Schwäche. Carroll presents the ghostly aspects of the plot in a subtle yet powerfully frightening way: ‘The whispering started just inches from my ear, a hissing, lisping sound that made my scalp prickle. At the start of the novel, Tilly works as a ‘pupil-helper’ at her local school, ‘cleaning slates and carrying coal and showing the young ones how to read’. Yourself and Bob are much cherished in our booky world and I personally really appreciate everything that you do.
