Snaggletooth's Mystery

Twenty years after The Turbulent Term of Tyke Tiler was first published to huge acclaim comes a brand new Cricklepit story set in a new decade. Past and present mingle with disturbing results in this highly readable novel which revisits the home of Tyke Tiler. The foundations of Cricklepit School are being dug up as builders move in, but for the moment the pupils are more worried about their imminent SATS tests and whether their classroom newspaper, The Cricklepit Chronicle, will get banned by bolshy head governor Mrs Somers. That is, until doors start mysteriously refusing to open, cars are vandalised, two shadowy figures are seen wandering around the corridors, and a strange illness begins to spread amongst staff and pupils. Are there ghosts at Cricklepit? And what’s the link between these unusual happenings and the tragic death of two children during a cholera epidemic almost 200 years before?
