Book Synopsis

A spooky new series for 8-12 year olds from Sibéal Pounder, bestselling author of Witch Wars, Bad Mermaids, with a fun choose-your-character twist!

The night Joe Bones spots a cloaked figure leaving his gran’s house, he’s sure that something is afoot. So, when he hears that his gran has passed away he’s convinced the mysterious man has something to do with her death . . .

Then Joe discovers that his gran was keeping a secret . . . she was part of an ancient society called Fright Club, investigators of crimes in supernatural hidden worlds – from Clinks, the world of skeletons, to the ghostly Veilooo and demon-filled Devilbend. So, Joe convinces his three best friends, Hal, Debbie and Rose to revive the club and track down the mysterious figure to find out what really happened to his gran.

What Joe doesn’t know is that each of his friends has a supernatural secret of their own and starting their own Fright Club could unleash a whole heap of trouble . . .

Our Review Panel says...

What a brilliant book! I had such a laugh reading this book as well as goosebumps.

Things take a sinister turn when Joe Bones spies a cloaked figure leaving his gran’s house and discovers her dead. He, of course, thinks she’s been murdered and tries to get his mother, who’s a forensic pathologist, to investigate. She’s having none of it, given Joe’s gran was over a hundred years old.

Joe and his friends discover that Joe’s gran was part of a group called Fright Club, and the town where they live (Grim) is built upon the gateways to supernatural worlds. You can visit towns where vampires, skeletons, ghosts and demons live through gateways in Grim. In this mystery, you get to choose which character’s storyline to follow. However, I read the mystery from cover to cover because I couldn’t resist, but I can imagine how exciting children will be to follow either Joe, Hal, Rose or Debbie.

I give this book a 11/10! I’m so excited to read the rest of the series, and this is going to be one of my favourite series, along with Jennifer Killick’s Dread Wood series.
