In its 20th year, the shortlist for CLiPPA (CLPE Children’s Poetry Award) reflects the wealth of talent in children’s poetry. ‘If your middle grade kids (ages 8-12) haven’t discovered Emma Carroll yet, then they’re missing out.’ Irish Times writes with the supreme, almost casual confidence of someone who knows she can keep her listeners in thrall. ‘Like Michael Morpurgo and Philip Pullman, Carroll. ‘A deliciously gothic thriller.’ The Bookseller This breathtaking new book from Emma Carroll, the critically-acclaimed author of Frost Hollow Hall, The Girl Who Walked On Air, In Darkling Wood and The Snow Sister, is a deliciously creepy story inspired by the creation of Frankenstein, and is brought to life by a leading talent in children’s literature. Someone else has followed her here too, she says. She claims to be looking for her sister, supposedly snatched from England by a woman called Mary Shelley. Frantic pounding at the front door reveals a stranger, a girl covered in the most unusual scars. Yet real life is about to take a chilling turn- more chilling than any tale. Felix, their serving boy, can’t wait to hear their creepy tales. 
On a stormy summer night, Lord Byron and his guests are gathered round the fire. ‘A tale to freeze the blood,’ was the only rule. They were coming tonight to tell ghost stories. From the queen of historical fiction, a thrilling, deliciously creepy story that is sure to freeze your blood.
