Description
Demelza loves science – she loves it so much that she’s
been known to stay up late to work on her peculiar inventions.
But Demelza discovers she has inherited a distinctly un-scientific
skill: Spectre Detecting.
Like her grandmother, she can summon the ghosts of the
dead.
But when Grandma is kidnapped by a mysterious villain, she knows
Spectre Detecting has something to do with it.
Only Demelza and her pasty best friend, Percy, can solve the deadly
mystery …
The first book in this warm and eccentric middle-grade mystery
series by debut author Holly Rivers.
Contemporary with a fantasy twist, this is thoroughly modern,
charming and full of action – themes of death and the afterlife
are handled with a light touch.
Lockwood & Co meets Skulduggery Pleasant
with a fresh, funny twist.
As a child, Holly was a lead actress in ITV’s original Worst
Witch series!
