Thomas Taylor’s portrayal of the aptly named Eerie-On-Sea will have you gripped from start to finish. 

Herbert Lemon, the Lost and Founder at the Grand Nautilus Hotel, is experienced at reuniting lost item with their owners, but he wasn’t expecting to encounter a lost girl in his basement. Violet Parma is investigating the disappearance of her parents twelve years ago and believes Herbie is the only one who can help. This mystery is made more spectacular by the addition of the boat hook man, a mermonkey, a talking cat and of course the terrifying legend of the Malamander. 

With a diverse cast of characters, fabulous descriptive content and a fantastical plot, this story is sure to delight anyone who pick it up. 

I thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t wait to recommend it in school.
