The Shadow Garden

An entirely new edition of The Vampire Castle. The story begins with Elspeth placed at the dreaded Rutherford's school, hoping that her mother will soon fetch her home. Elspeth is about to turn eleven. This should not prove particularly momentous in anyone's life, but for Elspeth it does, because she is about to discover she is not the ordinary girl she thought she was. Elspeth, it seems, has mysterious origins, and an even more mysterious destiny. Turning eleven means she is about to meet a grandfather she never knew she had, and commence an adventure in his peculiar garden that will take her to extraordinary and creepy places as far from home as she can imagine. Meeting dark characters from myths and legends, and traveling through space and time, Elspeth will have to use her wits at every turn to find her way home. Scary, quirky, funny and fast-paced, The Shadow Garden is a juvenile scifi fantasy that will take your imagination to the end of the universe and back. Are you ready for the journey?
