Radford Rosie - Böcker

Who is lurking beneath the stage? What emerges from the shadows, when the audience has gone home?Naughty schoolboys, Dan and Jas are about to find out, when they stumble into a rundown theatre and get talking to the old man at the Box Office ...These spine tingling short stories are all set in the same south London Victorian theatre but at different points in its history: first in its Victorian heyday, then during World War II and lastly in the 1970s when it is no longer even a theatre, but has been converted into a cinema.Each spooky story features a compelling array of characters, just waiting to entertain young readers with their theatrical and sometimes sinister antics. Short, sharp and full of ghosts, monsters and ghouls: these stories are perfect for children who love reading and for those are more reluctant to read – a whole adventure can be completed in one or two sessions.The tales are excitingly chilling, but perfectly pitched for readers aged 9 – 11.These stories link to the mystery and suspense topic at KS2 and there are free teacher resources to download which are linked to the text, available from the publisher website: www.dinosaurbooks.co.ukReviews"{::}Three really different stories, none of which went the way I was expecting, they'd be great to read aloud{::}"- Caroline Fielding, Youth and Children's Librarian, Teen Librarian Book Blog"This exciting collection of short stories are brimming with suspense, twists and chills and are sure to delight both avid and more reluctant readers of 9+"- Mary Rees, the Book Craic children's books reviews
