Review: I absolutely loved this book- a funny,sinister ,creepy and thoroughly entertaining story of magic and mystery. Hedy and brother Spencer discover their (ex magician) Grandpa’s house to be full of hidden magic and wonder. It holds the secret to their Grandma’s disappearance ,long ago and the siblings are determined to face some unnerving and unknown forces in order to finally find her. With magical characters galore ( such as the brilliant duo of Doug and Stan) there are fun and warm friendships made and many plot twists and turns . At times, the story becomes quite dark and foreboding ( Nobody gave me the chills) with some nerve racking and heart racing scenes of peril and danger ! There is ,however , a bold and clever cast of characters determined to use magic to solve years of heartbreak in the family. Wildly Inventive, imaginative and enchanting story . I loved the ending … and its potential for more!

Review: Eleven year old Hedy is not impressed when her parents – both archaeologists – decide to go on a dig in Spain leaving Hedy and her younger brother, Spencer, with their grandfather. She fully expects it to be the most boring two weeks ever. It’s particularly galling as it’s almost Christmas and there’s a distinct lack of festive cheer at Grandpa John’s. The house is actually full of interesting things but most of the doors are locked and Hedy and Spencer don’t dare to investigate. This changes, however, when the messages start to appear – spooky appeals for help drawn in a dusty picture frame and spelled out using fridge magnets. The messages claim to be from their grandmother who mysteriously disappeared many decades before, and they’re not something Hedy and Spencer can ignore. Instead, they start to sneak through previously locked doors and, as they do, the mystery deepens. Luckily, they find two special friends to help them – a talking Stag’s Head called Stan and a chatty Bear rug by the name of Doug. As this summary suggests, The House on Hoarder Hill is based on an intriguing concept and the adventure has the feel of a Hollywood film or TV series. This isn’t surprising since this is the debut novel of a screenwriter duo. Indeed, the story is destined for the small screen as TV rights have already been sold. The book is well written and easy to read, especially the opening chapters, and I’m confident that younger middle grade readers will enjoy the adventure. I suspect Stan and Doug will prove particularly popular, with a lively debate between readers over which of these two unusual characters deserves to be the favourite.
