Description

Sometimes, secrets don’t stay buried forever. Sometimes, they need to be set free?

Twelve-year-old Edie and her younger brother Pip are spending half term at Fortune Farm, high in the Irish mountains, with their grandmother Lolly. They haven’t visited Fortune Farm for YEARS and Edie has been dreading it for MONTHS. They spent all their holidays there when Dad was alive. And Edie doesn’t like thinking about Dad – even the happy memories haunt her too much.

When Edie uncovers a clue that could lead her to long-lost Viking treasure, it’s just the adventure she needs to take her mind off Dad. But the adventure soon takes an unnerving and dangerous turn, and Edie discovers that Fortune Farm has more secrets, mysteries and ghosts than she had ever dared to dream.

A spine-tingling adventure about the power of memories and the restless spirits that whisper on the wind?

An emotional and spine-tingling adventure perfect for fans of The House with Chicken Legs, A Girl Called Owl and A Pocketful of Stars.

***’
Ghostly and atmospheric and would have you glued to the pages until its satisfying end,’ Nizrana Farook, author of The Girl Who Stole an Elephant

Thank you to everyone who joined Laviya for The Global Stories Book Club very first session! It was a great turn out and a brilliant discussion and we can't wait to host the next one!

The next session will take place on Wednesday 7th October at 6pm and we will be discussing Cursed Daughters by Oyinkan Braithwaite. 📚

The cafe will be open until 6pm to ensure you have all the hot drinks you need during the session! ☕

About the book:
No man will call your house his home. And if they try, they will not have peace... So goes the family curse, handed down from generation to generation, ruining families and breaking hearts as it goes. And now it's calm, rational Eniiyi's turn - who, due to her uncanny resemblance to her dead aunt, Monife, and her family's insistence that she must be a reincarnation, has long been used to some strange familial beliefs.
Still, when she falls in love with the handsome boy she saves from drowning, she can no longer run from her family's history. Is she destined to live out the habitual story of love and heartbreak, or can she escape the family curse and the mysterious fate that befell her aunt?
