Evie couldn't be angrier with her mother. She's only gone and got married again and has flown off on honeymoon, sending Evie to stay with a godmother she's never even met in an old, creaky house in the middle of nowhere. It is all monumentally unfair.

But on the first night in her godmother's spare room, Evie notices a strange message scratched into the windowpane, and everything she thought she knew gets turned upside down. After a ghastly night's sleep Evie wakes up in 1814, dressed as a housemaid, and certain she's gone back in time for a reason. A terrible injustice needs to be fixed.

But there's a housekeeper barking orders, a bad-tempered master to avoid, and the chamber pots won't empty themselves. It's going to take all Evie's cunning to fix things in the past so that nothing will break apart in the future...

Evie's Ghost by Helen Peters is a thrilling time-travel adventure that will captivate young readers with its blend of historical intrigue and personal discovery.

About the Author

Helen Peters grew up on an old-fashioned farm in Sussex, surrounded by family, animals and mud. She spent most of her childhood reading stories and putting on plays in a tumbledown shed that she and her friends turned into a theatre. After university, she became an English and Drama teacher. Helen lives with her husband and children in Brighton, and she can hardly believe that she now gets to call herself a writer.
