About the Author
Sally Christie grew up in a Cambridgeshire village, went to York university, then worked as an editor of children's books in London, where she lived for fifteen years. After that, with her husband and two sons, she moved back to the village where she started - and she lives there still. A lot has changed. Woods and hedgerows have gone, roads have cut through farmland. Nowadays, she can hear a motorway as she walks her dog over the fields.But the spirit of the place has persisted. This story, her second for David Fickling Books, is about how powerful (and sometimes frightening) spirit can be.
