This book had me gripped from the start. It wasn’t just a spooky mystery (which I wouldn’t have complained about at all) it was also a really tender story with brilliantly written characters. 

At the beginning I was desperate to know how things unfolded, but by the end I was more emotionally invested in our 10 year old heroine Lauren’s story.
