Award-winning, star-reviewed middle grade historical fantasy, originally published by Viking. A spooky, spellbinding adventure for fans of Narnia, filled with magic, mystery, and danger in a Scottish castle during World War II.
When World War II forces twelve-year-old Kat Bateson and her younger brother and sister out of London during the Blitz, they are evacuated to Scotland and deposited at Rookskill Castle-a so-called school that is anything but safe.
Things really do go bump in the night. Doors are locked for safety. The peculiar headmistress is not what she seems.
And then the children begin to disappear.
Practical, logical Kat knows something is terribly wrong at Rookskill Castle. As she searches for answers, she must protect her siblings and the other children while unraveling the secrets of the castle, its mysterious headmistress, and the strange charms she carries with her.
But an ancient evil is hiding within Rookskill's walls, while beyond the castle gates a very real war threatens Kat's father and everything she has left behind.
The Charmed Children of Rookskill Castle blends dark magic, mystery, adventure, and real World War II history into a richly atmospheric middle grade fantasy for readers ages 9-12. Perfect for classrooms, book clubs, and readers who love magical mysteries, eerie castles, courageous heroes, and stories that are just right for reading into the wee hours.
Just...keep the lights on.
