The Watertower by Gary Crew

5.0

An excellent picture book for older readers by Gary Crew & Steven Woolman. The text and pictures combine to create an uneasy, eerie feeling as the town of Preston slowly reveals itself to be more than what is seen on the surface. Cleverly, for much of the book the pictures and the text are telling two different parts of a connected story. Children love exploring the pictures for details and clues and the way the illustrator uses the layout is very engaging. Highly recommended for Year 5 and well up in to high school.
