PRODUCT INFORMATION

Description

A creepy magician with a shadowy act. A legend that goes back to the dawn of time. Eerie-on-Sea just got stranger. And darker... On the eve of Ghastly Night, a hypnotic stage magician, Caliastra, checks in to Eerie-on-Sea's Grand Nautilus Hotel. She's arrived with her entourage to put on a show – and she claims to be related to Herbert Lemon. Caliastra's act is so shadowy and strange that Herbie's friend Violet wonders if dark forces are at work, but Herbie won't hear a word said against his new relation. Meanwhile, folk are disappearing from the town, and no one knows why. There is an Eerie legend that goes back to the dawn of time, about a creature made of darkness that devours the shadows of the living. Could the Shadowghast have really returned?

Critic Reviews

Taylor's magical touch makes you believe the impossible. -- Catherine Doyle
I think it was well-written and I think that fans of the previous books will really enjoy it. Books Up North
This was the best book ever. It is the 3rd in the series and is absolutely fantastic book. -- Reader (Age 12) Toppsta

This is a really good mystery book. It has a lot of action, adventure and lots of twists and turns to the plot. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

-- Reader (Age 11) Toppsta

This is the best book I have read in forever! In the style of the main character, Herbert Lemon, two words that go together to describe this book are magnificent and magical. Now that I have visited Eerie-on-Sea, I really wish I could stay longer and go on more amazing adventures with Herbie, Violet and Erwin. This book is worth a milky way of stars-I'm sorry I could only award it five!

-- Reader (Age 12) Toppsta
