Mystery of the Night Watchers by A.M. Howell

YOUNG READER REVIEW:

This book is set in the Edwardian era. This time period is described very well, so I learnt that in 1910, people were getting used to modern luxuries that we take for granted. This book is about Halley’s Comet, which some were afraid of and some were delighted with. It is perfect for readers of 9-11 who are looking for a story filled with buried secrets and dark lies. As well as this, this book boasts a beautifully vindictive villain… By: Lupita (age 9). Rating: 4.5/5.

Description

From the bestselling author of The Garden of Lost Secrets and The House of One Hundred Clocks, A.M. Howell, comes a gripping new adventure filled with buried secrets and dark lies, set against the evocative backdrop of the Edwardian era. MAY, 1910 As the blazing Halley’s comet draws close to the earth, Nancy is uprooted to start a new life in Suffolk with a grandfather she has never met. With every curtain drawn shut, Nancy is forbidden from leaving her grandfather’s house: no one must know that her or her mother are there. Yet, when Nancy discovers the house’s secret observatory, she watches her mother and grandfather creep out every night… Where are they going? And why mustn’t any of them be seen? As the mysteries pile up, Nancy must bring dark secrets from the past to light – even if doing so will put her own life at risk.
