The Ghost Locket
A captivating supernatural mystery set in a house haunted by secrets from the past.
Eleven-year-old Lolli must return to London and break a promise she made to herself — to never again enter the house in Spitalfields, an historic building managed by her family.
There, Lolli must face up to what she saw in the house several years ago and make things right for two ghosts, one friendly and one decidedly not, and open her heart to people in both the living and twilight worlds.
The Ghost Locket by Allison Rushby intertwines mystery and the supernatural, inviting readers into a world where the past and the present collide.

About the Author
Allison Rushby, the daughter of an author, was raised on a wholesome and steady diet of classic English literature. Some of her favourite books, re-read countless dog-eared times include Rumer Godden's The Dolls' House, Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden, Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle and Noel Streatfield's "Shoes" series. She has long been a fan of cities with long, winding histories, wild, overgrown cemeteries, red brick Victorian museums, foxes and ivy. She prefers to write with a cup of Darjeeling tea by her side and a Devon Rex cat curled up in her lap.
Her work includes When This Bell Rings, which was a Notable in the CBCA Awards, The Mulberry Tree, which was shortlisted in the West Australia Young Readers' Book Award, The Turnkey, which was shortlisted in the Speech Pathology Awards and The Seven Keys, which was longlisted in the Davitt Awards.
