The Ghosts of Eden Valley
Author Sharon Gosling
Adventure
It’s hard to leave your friends behind and start a new life, as Ishmael discovers when his dad takes a new job. Instead of a tower block in London, he finds himself in a spooky house in a sleepy village in Cumbria. Fitting in isn’t Ishmael’s only problem, either - he keeps seeing strange lights out on the windswept fells. Are they really the Viking ghosts of local legend, as his new neighbour, Connie, insists? Or is something else going on?
