Our Pick
Dead Good Dectectives by Jenny McLachlan
This book is brilliant! When Sid Jones accidentally sets a ghost free, she is in for an adventure she couldn’t imagine in her wildest dreams! Turns out she can see ghosts! As for the newly free ghost – he’s the ghost of a pirate, his name is Bones and he comes with a parrot called Elizabeth. Sid needs to help Bones find his treasure to be able to move on, otherwise he will become a wraith, and that would be horrible. Along the way they get help from Sid’s best friend Zen and are being chased by Old Scratch. There are so many twists and exciting turns in this book, you won’t be able to stop reading!
A perfect Halloween read (or any-time-of-year read) for children aged 9+.

Mina and the Undead by Amy McCaw
A atmospheric, thrilling, full of twists vampire novel. For older readers it’s a real nostalgic throwback to the 90s with a real cult classic feel (a Spotify list should be made) For the modern day teen it’s an awesome gothic novel that fans of Stranger Things, Sabrina and Buffy will really enjoy, it will make you want to watch all the classic vampire films and visit New Orleans-it really is just like the descriptions (we cannot comment on the vampires mind). A great Halloween read.
