Room 13

Book Synopsis

Somebody was in there. Somebody – or some thing…There is no Room 13 in the creepy Crow’s Nest Hotel, where Fliss and her friends are staying on a school trip. Or is there? For at the stroke of midnight, something peculiar happens to the door of the linen cupboard next to Room 12. And something is happening to Ellie-May Sunderland, too – something very sinister…A gripping page-turner from the master of spooky suspense, award-winning Robert Swindells.

Our Review Panel says...

Robert Swindell’s Room 13 is a spooky thriller story in which the main character is greeted with peculiar recurring nightmares whilst on a school trip to Whitby. The story follows Fliss, who along with her classmates, faces unusual red bite marks, a bout of sleepwalking, strange old women and Dracula himself. 

Room 13 has Upper KS2 classes on the edge of their seats and not wanting to put it down. We would recommend this gripping book for children aged 9+ who enjoy a bit of suspense.
