Charlie hopes that the school ski trip will be the escape from his
unhappy home life he so desperately needs. But there is something
wrong with the remote ski village of Kaldgellan. Something is out
there, something ancient and evil, among the pines and the deep
untracked drifts, watching and waiting. And when the storms blow
in, Charlie and his schoolmates wake to find the resort deserted.
Cut off from the rest of the world far below, as night falls the
few left alive on the snowbound mountain will wish they were
somewhere, anywhere else. Only ski guide Hanna seems to know of
Kaldgellan's long-buried secrets, but whether Charlie can trust her
is another question... A chilling RED EYE horror, perfect for fans
of Dawn Kurtagich, Juno Dawson and Charlie Higson.
