Such an adventure! Gorgeous use of setting, relatable characters, oodles of atmosphere & a mighty fine story which keeps you gripped right to the very end * Hannah Gold, author of The Last Bear * Sophie's third book lives up to all the expectations I had after reading the gorgeous The Wild Way Home and Way to Impossible Island. Here again are characters to love and a hauntingly beautiful setting of a remote farmhouse in the Irish wilderness. This is a ghost story, a mystery, and a book about love, belonging and grief. It's ghostly and atmospheric and would have you glued to the pages till its satisfying end * Nizrana Farook, author of The Girl Who Stole an Elephant * Packed full of mystery, ghosts and family secrets, this chilling chapter book also sensitively explores feelings of grief and guilt. Guaranteed to send shivers down your spine, its the perfect tale to read on dark, stormy nights if youre brave enough * BookTrust * I absolutely loved The Haunting of Fortune Farm its a ghost story with a thrillingly, dark Viking roar to it, but threaded through with such beauty and heart. The setting is superbly drawn and Edies courageous journey into the mountain will have you racing through the pages, but its also a story that carries huge emotional heft as its about memory and loss and learning to let go. Once again Sophie Kirtley has bought history to life in the most vivid and imaginative way possible. Shes a terrific storyteller. And everyone needs a younger brother like Pip!
