Shiverton Hall: The Creeper by Emerald Fennell – review

Sylvanians 'A scary unpredictable adventure!'
  
  


Shiverton Hall: The Creeper is my all time favourite book! It is even better than the first Shiverton Hall. It is a really scary, gripping book and a real cliff hanger.. i just could not put it down!

Its about a boy called Arthur Bannister who is back for another term at his boarding school , Shiverton Hall. The Headmistress, Professor Long-Pitt has put up a famous painting by Gainsborough in the library.

The new art teacher, Mr Cornwallis tells the class about all the art in the school. He himself does not believe in legends but he tells the class the painting is cursed by a child stealer - the creeper.

Professor Long-Pitt announces that she has chosen everyone's WAA as the kids call it. It stands for Wednesday Afternoon Activities and Arthur has to look after an old and so called 'kind' lady , Mrs Todd. He loves going there as she gives him cake and tells him legends about the school. Who is she really?

Along with a pupil falling out of a window to their death , a hooded figure turning up in the middle, Arthur not going back to Shiverton Hall and other twists and turns makes this book a real page turner.

Join Arthur on a scary, unpredictable adventure. It is a must read and a definite 10 out of 10
