A gripping tale of dark faerie magic
This is a perfect read for middle grade readers (and adults obvs) who love a bit of a creepy story. Full of folklore and an interesting sibling dynamic, this story is simply wonderful.
Whispering Hollow is the perfect book for snuggling down under a blanket on a cool autumn evening while the wind whistles through the trees.
When I think about how many Neolithic stones with holes in that I've dabbled in and through over the course of my life so far then it's a wonder that I'm alive but I will think twice about even touching one again after reading this book! Genuinely terrifying fairy/horror story that will stay with me for a long time. Beautifully written and memorable characters (both heroes and monsters). Very highly recommended for those not of a nervous disposition!
Such a brilliant story, eerie and atmospheric and full of adventure! I am new to reading middle grade fiction but I'm loving how magical it is... this is definitely one of my favourites!
