A truly brilliant start to a new illustrated series by renowned author Lucy Strange and author-illustrator Pam Smy!
The illustrations highlight and compliment the text perfectly in pencil sketches with blue bursts of colour. The story begins with Matilda who lives with her Aunt Evelyn, also known as Signora Valentina- a well known spiritualist who charges for her seances and attracts quite a crowd.
No one can know the truth behind her performances.
When they are asked to rid an impressive manor of its ghosts, Matilda believes they will just put on a show but when a real ghost shows up, no one is more surprised than Matilda. She meets Edgar Wilde, a boy who used to live at the manor.
Together they discover that an art historian is not who he seems but he too can sense the presence of ghosts and plays horrendous violin to scare them away. Can Matilda and Edgar work together to solve a couple of supernatural mysteries?
Welcome to the world of Lockett and Wilde-supernatural sleuths! This is a welcome start to a new series of spooky supernatural mysteries.
