‘A gripping tale of dark faerie magic’ – Phil Hickes, author of The Haunting of Aveline Jones
Pippa Newton loves nature and being outdoors, and she’s looking forward to visiting her grandfather in his cottage in the forest. If only her older brother was as enthusiastic about it as she is.
But their holiday soon turns into a dark and strange adventure when Pippa realises that malevolent forces are lurking in the trees – forces that watch, wait, and mean them great harm.
Why are twig-woven figures appearing all over the cottage? And why does their grandfather seem so afraid all the time? What secrets linger in Whispering Hollow? And will Pippa be able to rekindle her friendship with her brother?

Whispering Hollow is the perfect book for snuggling down under a blanket on a cool autumn evening while the wind whistles through the trees.
When I think about how many Neolithic stones with holes in that I've dabbled in and through over the course of my life so far then it's a wonder that I'm alive but I will think twice about even touching one again after reading this book! Genuinely terrifying fairy/horror story that will stay with me for a long time. Beautifully written and memorable characters (both heroes and monsters). Very highly recommended for those not of a nervous disposition!
A gripping tale of dark faerie magic
Such a brilliant story, eerie and atmospheric and full of adventure! I am new to reading middle grade fiction but I'm loving how magical it is... this is definitely one of my favourites!
This is a perfect read for middle grade readers (and adults obvs) who love a bit of a creepy story. Full of folklore and an interesting sibling dynamic, this story is simply wonderful.
