Fantasy, adventure story fur children aged 8 upwards. The first in a five part series read.
The old Victorian vicarage has stood empty for over a decade in the village of Filius. With rumours of its haunted past, everyone stays away... Well, almost everyone! Ten-year-old Catherine Rose has become obsessed with the rundown ruin and makes daily diary entries about its only surviving inhabitant, the clever crow. When twelve-year-old Matthew Khan and his dad move into the vicarage, Catherine’s obsession increases. Before too long, the newfound friendship traps them both into a cruel world mastered by the clever crow himself.
As their fight for survival starts, they must discover the secrets that are hidden deep within the darkness and uncover the truth behind Crow and his precious vicarage. The only question is... Will you dare to delve into the darkness with them?
"I found this to be a captivating read and thoroughly enjoyable. More
importantly, so did my ten year old son who read it from start to finish
within a couple of days, and announced that it was "excellent!". It is
'dark' enough for its intended audience without being too scary, but manages
to do so without being patronizing. A nice little surprise at the end too,
which I won't spoil. A brilliant read. Well done, I look forward to
reading the next in the series."
