Award-winning master of scary stories Chris Priestley returns with a spine-tingling collection of ghostly tales to chill you to the bone … When Maya and her classmates are asked to write a creepy story with a winter theme, they come up with some brilliant ideas. Rising floodwaters uncover long-buried bodies and ghostly children take to the ice on a frozen canal. But as each of the stories is read out in class, Maya grows more and more uncomfortable. She features in each of her friends’ creepy tales and they start to feel a little too real. Finally, when a mysterious new girl stands up to read the last story of the day, the light outside dims and it starts to snow. The classroom starts to freeze but everyone is trapped. Can Maya stop the story before the nightmare comes true? Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8. In this Sunday Times bestselling book, Chris Priestley masterfully weaves a chilling narrative that will keep both teen and juvenile readers on the edge of their seats. The suspense and thrillers elements are expertly intertwined with the everyday school life, making the story feel all too real.nanHarperCollins 2024
