Creepy! This ghost story is set during World War II, and involves an evil clown, a young boy and girl in love, an empty beach, and a mysterious old man in a lighthouse who guards a town from impending doom. Good for anyone who likes scary stories!
I hadn't intended on reading this as I normally avoid the young adult genre, but it was 20p!The father of the family decides that they need to move from the city to the coast because of the war. They move into a house that has already known tragedy.Max starts to explore the immediate vicinity and fi...
3.5 Stars A fun, spooky and easy to read story. For me it was a MG horror fiction, very entertaining.

By the way, if you have not read Shadow of the Wind, you are missing one of the most imaginative and original nove...
In the introduction to the book, Zafón admits that this was initially written as a book for 12 & 13 year-olds, but hopes that adult audiences will like it as well. Hmm. Well, it wasn't bad, but I would've liked it a lot more if I was twelve. It's a fun horror story, set in a small seaside town in th...
(YA) Defiantly a horror novel, scary and thrilling, slowly creeping up behind you. : ) Clowns, it had to be clowns ?!?!?!?
