The Scream of the Whistle
My Review
Miserable daughter of divorcing parents, Ruby, decides the best way to reunite her split family is to flee the creepy village they’re staying in by night, and follow the ancient railway tracks home. But when an old steam train appears on the abandoned line, an entirely different journey begins.
This spooky ghost train ride is a mystery that’s full of suspense, but has at its core friendship, bravery and kindness. There are lots of moments of tension and dread, but it has real heart – Emily Randall-Jones has a knack for making me cry. Perfect for fans of spooky mysteries and ghost stories in upper KS2.
