'Alex Nye's involving Chill is set near Stirling, in a snowbound house with a ghost in the library. It's a tense confection of mystery, historical intrigue and adventure for 8-12 year olds. Young heroes Samuel and Fiona find they cannot ignore a call from the past to put things right.' -- Lindsey Fraser, Sunday Herald
Product Description
This title is the winner of the Royal Mail Awards for Scottish Children's Books 2007 (8-11 year old category). "He stared up at the dark mass of the house. Then he thought he saw movement in the library window to the right of the drawing room. A shadow moving, backwards and forwards ...then it was gone". Samuel is trapped by huge snow drifts in an old, remote house. And that's not the only thing causing a cold shiver to creep down his spine. He feels like the ghostly figure in the locked library has a message ...but who is it for? Fiona lives in the big house, but will that help the two of them to break the curse on her family? As the ice sets in, they uncover a centuries-old tale of betrayal and revenge. Set on bleak Sheriffmuir near Stirling, this is a spooky tale of the past coming back to haunt the present.

Bought this for my children after my daughter told me that the author was her new English teacher. Excellent book, I read it myself and my daughter is currently reading it. I would recommend an age group of 11-14yrs.

The cover is scarier than the story
3 April 2008
Format:Paperback
My 11 yo son received this book for Christmas. It's about a two children who solve an ages old mystery. It was very well written and a thrilling story. It's a little bit scary but that is what draws you in. I would recommend this for your children about 10 years and up although we read it aloud as a family read aloud book.
