Product Description
Product Description
The Tiernan family is in the money: a flash new car, a huge new house, expensive computer games for Paul, and a pony for his sister, Shell. But Mum and Dad haven't said exactly where all the money came from. And it's only when Paul meets strange Sarah-Louise that events become clearer. For ages 10+.

Format:Paperback
Having read Helen Dunmore's other books - child and adult, this was an immense disappointment. It attempts to be a mystery, a ghost story, historical social commentary and a contemporary crime and justice story - all in the space of 143 pages. And fails.
It is written through the eyes and in the words of a young boy, which given Dunmore's usual excellence at creating characters starts promisingly. The narrators character, however, along with the other characters in the story, never quite seems to work. There are some surprises in the story line - and some nice touches of detail, but not enough to rescue what is an otherwise predictable and unsuccesful story.
