Set in a girls' boarding school in Massachusetts a haunting and sinister story YA story for World Book Day from prize-winning author Marcus Sedgwick. 1963. Foxgrove School near Stockbridge, Massachusetts. One of the oldest and finest academies in the country - but what really goes on behind closed doors? Nathaniel Drake, the new young English teacher, Isobel Milewski, the quiet girl who loved to draw spirals, her fingers stained with green ink, Jack Lewis, who lent Isobel books - just words, just ink on paper, Margot Leya, the girl with those eyes - who are they, what part have they played in killing the dead? Follow the dark, dark path Into the dark, dark woods To the dark, dark bridge By the dark, dark water. Linger. Let the ghosts of heaven tell their story. A stylish and creepy story for World Book Day from prize-winning author Marcus Sedgwick.

A short story for world book day at £1 a real bargain! It's simple and short. Although I didn't really get into it. A story about a girls boarding school and what happens behind closed doors. A girl kills herself and a year later things start happenings. Can the dead talk? It's a dad tale as I'm sure this can apply to anywhere in life. Children can be mean and then they have to suffer the consequences one day. Hoping yet no one finds out the parts they all played in the destruction of someone else. :(
