Skulkmoor

Reviews / Votes

Dark, delicious and extraordinary. An inventive, page-turning story with a fabulous cast of characters. * Hannah Gold, bestselling author of The Last Bear * I am a huge fan of Hana's writing, and Skulkmoor certainly did NOT disappoint - if anything I think it might be her best book yet! Clever plotting, a lovably eccentric cast, and such a richly atmospheric setting. Pacy, exciting, mysterious, adventurous - it's a deliciously dark adventure that sparkles with wit and wonder. An absolute page-turner that children will love, simply packed with Hana Tooke's trademark quirkiness, warmth and originality. I was charmed and captivated from gruesome beginning to ghastly end. * Sophie Kirtley, bestselling author of The Wild Way Home * What a read! A raven-circled manor skulking with secrets and two deliciously anarchic heroes uncovering the murder mystery buried within its walls. Darkly gothic and magnificently weird - no one tells a story like Hana Tooke! * Nizrana Farook, bestselling author of The Girl Who Stole and Elephant * Deliciously dark, with wit as sharp as a raven's beak, this strange and wonderful story comes wrapped up in a murder mystery that readers will be racing to unravel! * Struan Murray, author of Dragonborn * A thrillingly twisty mystery packed with gothic atmosphere, a rogues' gallery of delightfully eccentric characters and absolutely brimming with Hana's exceptional blend of witty description and heartfelt emotional depth. I loved it! * Tamzin Merchant, bestselling author of The Hatmakers * A deliciously gothic whodunnit awash with atmosphere and a thrilling plot that grips you like the talons of a crow. Welcome to your new murderous obsession! * Ash Bond, author of Peregrine Quinn and the Cosmic Realm * A twisty saga with comedic overtones and gothic undertones. A tale of sad secrets, hidden doors and startling revelations, bobbing in stewed resentment. A deliciously dark story with excitement and eccentricity in equal measure. * Rachel Delahaye, author of Mort the Meek * [A] complex murder mystery. And Ayesha L Rubio's great drawings locate the kawaii in period costumes. * the Observer, children's chapter books of the month * Praise for Hana Tooke: ''A high-speed, witty, absurd and joyful adventure' * Katherine Rundell on The Unadoptables * A corker of a story * Emma Carroll on The Unadoptables *
