Description: A creepy magician with a shadowy act. A legend that goes back to the dawn of time. Eerie-on-Sea just got stranger. And darker. A mysterious stage magician has set up in the theatre at the end of the pier, with an act so hypnotic and strange that Herbie Lemon and his friend Violet Parma suspect dark forces are at work. Meanwhile, folk are disappearing from Eerie-on-Sea, and no one knows why. There is an Eerie legend that goes back to the dawn of time, about a creature made of darkness that devours the shadows of the living. But could the Shadowghast really have returned?.

Review: There is something about Thomas Taylor’s writing that just dazzles. Having read Malamander for the first time this summer, I devoured the next two in quick succession. But my goodness, is Shadowghast my favourite. The writing is sublime, wonderfully descriptive and playful in a way I can’t remember reading before. It has been a very long time since I have read a book (series!) that has stuck with me as much as the Eerie-on-the-Sea series has. Shadowghast appeals to me the most for the spooky, Halloween element to the plot. The creature’s origin story is delightfully eerie (living up to the brand name) and it leaves you guess what is going to happen throughout the story. Extremely engaging and I shall be recommending the whole series to the children I taught last year who have now moved into Year 5 and will undoubtedly enjoy it as much as I have.

Review: This is a great third book in the Eerie-on-Sea series, once again following Herbert Lemon and Violet as they uncover more of the legends from the town. Shadowghast is an old story about a shadow that steals other people’s shadows so when strangers arrive and shadows start going missing, it is up to Herbert and Violet to find out what is really going on. More sinister than the previous two books, this was action packed with the two children having to work out which adults are helping them and who is getting in their way. Well written and a great spooky read. I received a free digital ARC of this from the publisher via Netgalley but also bought a copy for the school library.
