The Haunting of Fortune Farm

Edie and her little brother Pip are spending half term with their grandmother at Fortune Farm, a remote farmhouse nestled in Silent Valley, at the foot of the wild, Irish mountains. As soon as Edie arrives, she cannot shake the feeling that she’s being watched: she hears whispers on the wind, footsteps around the farmhouse and keeps catching glimpses of a mysterious figure in red.  

When Edie learns that Viking treasure was found in the region decades earlier, she wants to know more. As she investigates, she’s thrust into a menacing world of restless spirits, where she encounters a fearsome Viking warrior who will stop at nothing to find his lost sword.  

Meanwhile, Edie is struggling to come to terms with her father’s death. She tries not to think about him, but Fortune Farm was his childhood home, so there are reminders of him everywhere. She begins to realise that memories can be healing, as well as painful.  

Packed full of mystery, ghosts and family secrets, this chilling chapter book also sensitively explores feelings of grief and guilt. Guaranteed to send shivers down your spine, it’s the perfect tale to read on dark, stormy nights… if you’re brave enough.
