The Spellbound Hotel

Shortlisted for the Bedfordshire Libraries Children’s
Book of the Year 2010

A wildly imaginative adventure like nothing you've read before!

Strange things are happening in the village of Stagtree Knoll.
Ever since Bethany's parents moved here they have developed an unhealthy obession for the local sausages. Not to mention the bizarre soap opera they watch every night without fail, a soap opera that seems to have hypnotised everyone in the village. Everyone except Bethany, that is.

Determined to find out what's going on, she sneaks into the mysterious Stoames Mansion and discovers something very strange indeed: a hotel for ghosts, spirits and non-material beings.

But Bethany is not a welcome guest here and if she hopes to escape and save her parents, she must face the sinister power at the heart of the hotel, and break the spell it has cast over everyone.

'An extremely imaginative story about the extraordinary adventures of a young girl in a hotel full of ghosts and spirits. The depiction of the hotel is both vivid and humorous . . . the story is light-hearted and fascinating rather than scary, and will appeal both to readers who enjoy stories about ghosts and spirits, and readers who enjoy a fun adventure story.'
