A Skull in Shadows Lane
"It's beautifully-written, short and to the point, with sparkling, pithy dialogue and a tense plot. I loved the way Swindells leads the reader one way at the beginning but is really taking his readers somewhere completely different. Josh and Jinty begin the story with a ghost hunt, but soonthey realise that the living world has as much in the way of horror as any spectral imaginings. It's a tough lesson, but they rise to the challenge and so although this story engages with serious and frightening themes, it's also incredibly uplifting." --Jill Murphy, The Bookbag.
