A terrifying adventure of ghouls and ghosts
‘Dead Voices’ – Katherine Arden
“Having survived sinister scarecrows and the malevolent smiling man in Small Spaces, newly minted best friends Ollie, Coco, and Brian are ready to spend a relaxing winter break skiing together with their parents at Mount Hemlock Resort. But when a snowstorm sets in, causing the power to flicker out and the cold to creep closer and closer, the three are forced to settle for hot chocolate and board games by the fire. Ollie, Coco, and Brian are determined to make the best of being snowed in, but odd things keep happening. Coco is convinced she has seen a ghost, and Ollie is having nightmares about frostbitten girls pleading for help. Then Mr. Voland, a mysterious ghost hunter, arrives in the midst of the storm to investigate the hauntings at Hemlock Lodge. With Mr. Voland's help, Ollie, Coco, and Brian reach out to the dead voices at Mount Hemlock. Maybe the ghosts need their help--or maybe not all ghosts can or should be trusted.”
‘Dead Voices’ is the next installment in the popular ‘Small Spaces’ series written by award winning author Katherine Arden. Set in a gloomy, atmospheric, cold and foreboding setting this novel continues the adventures of good friends Ollie, Coco and Brian as they battle against the supernatural and the strange. Creepy, spine tingling and suspenseful, this novel is a joy to read and will hook readings right to the very last page. With engaging and believable characters, terrifying ghosts, and a plot filled with unexpected twists and turns, this story would be perfect for those who love a good scare. Suitable for Years 7-9.
