CILIP Carnegie & Greenaway Children's Book Awards.Heartbreakingly sad and thoroughly chilling at the same time, this is an unforgettable read powerful, atmospheric, skilfully paced, Pam Smy’s illustrations pull the reader into the creepy Thornhill world.Īndrea Reece Find This Book In Suitable For: When Ella sees Mary in the grounds of Thornhill a friendship develops though by then Ella and reader both know that Mary is a ghost. She has just moved in nearby and we work out that her mother is dead. Ella’s story is told entirely through the illustrations.
Mary is selectively mute and we read her story through her diary entries as well as in the wordless, full page monochrome illustrations. Mary lives at Thornhill, an old mansion turned children’s home and is cruelly tormented by one of the other girls. Two lonely girls are at the heart of Pam Smy’s strikingly told gothic story.
