Hannah knows there's something deadly wrong in her room, but how can she discover the truth? A ghostly tale full of heart-pounding suspense that will keep horror lovers hooked right up to the very last page.

The holiday was supposed to give them a break, a chance to get away and heal after the loss of the baby. But Hannah's parents are still listless and distracted, and her toddler brother doesn't understand what's going on. And worst of all, something feels wrong in Hannah's room. Her mum and dad don't understand what she's trying to tell them, so one stormy night Hannah sneaks out to find someone who can tell her the truth about The Front Room…

Particularly suitable for readers aged 13+ with a reading age of 7.

About the Author

As a child, Michelle Magorian loved acting. She says, "I used to hide in our local theatre and watch new companies set up the scenery and the lights." Michelle once had a part as Paddington Bear, which meant she got to eat lots of marmalade sandwiches! Michelle loves writing too, of course, and was inspired by her mother's stories of nursing in the Second World War to write her most famous book, Goodnight Mister Tom, now regarded as a modern classic.
