Where is the baby that Meg hears crying at night? Who is the girl with the plait that’s waiting at the deserted train station? And what was the great misfortune that once threatened to befall not only Hester Hill, but the entire village? Meg and Frank soon find themselves embroiled in a mystery dating back to the early 20th century. A mystery that will not only have them traveling deep into the secret rooms and tunnels of Hester Hill, but also changing the course of history as they do so.
Reviews
-
“A classic suspense novel for avid young readers.”
-
“The Mystery of Hester Hill is a thrilling and superbly written ghost story for children of the bookworm age.”
-
“An expertly put together story with lots of clues and details.”
-
“This mixture of classic children’s fiction elements: twins, a mysterious house, a cranky old uncle, adults with their minds elsewhere, hauntings, and a dark past – become absolutely perfect in the hands of Kristina Ohlsson.”
-
“[Kristina Ohlsson] is always writing a new novel, without repetitions of or elements recognizable from previous books; she does it entirely from the start, on a blank sheet of paper. The Mystery of Hester Hill is no exception. It’s exciting, it’s quick, and it’s funny.”
