One night, after awakening from a terrible dream, a young boy heads
out on his bike. Soon he arrives at a mysterious cave, which he

A startlingly original, stunningly-illustrated modern classic about
learning to face your fears from the multi award-winning
partnership of Nick Lake and Emily Gravett. Lily just wants things
to go back to the way they were: before she got sick, before her
parents decided to have another baby. So when she's sent away to
stay with her grandmother while her mum has the baby, Lily is
determined to go home. But she doesn't expect to find people in her
house - people who look like her parents, but definitely aren't ...
Together with some unlikely animal companions, Lily must face her
fears and summon the courage to break into her own house, and
defeat 'The Replacements' before the night is out. Nick Lake's
atmospheric story of family and friendship is brought to
spectacular life by Emily Gravett, twice winner of the Kate
Greenaway Medal. 'A book of such wit and flair and delight: the
kind of book you finish and immediately begin again, so that you
can live again alongside the characters' Katherine Rundell,
bestselling author of The Explorer
'The whistling had started on their first night. At first, Layah
thought it was bird song - a high thin sound which became a melody,
rising and falling. And each night, it returned.' Strange things
have been happening to Layah and her younger sister, Izzie, ever
since their mother dragged them to a rain-soaked cottage miles from
anywhere in the Lake District: there is a peculiar whistling at
night, a handful of unusual feathers appear on their doorstep and
there are murmurings of a shadowed woman in the forest. And their
mother is behaving very oddly. Layah is mourning the loss of her
dear grandmother in Poland - and can almost hear her Babcia's voice
telling her the old myths and fairy tales from that magical place.
And as the holiday takes on a dark twist, Layah begins to wonder if
the myths might just be real. A thrilling debut from remarkable new
talent, Eve Wersocki Morris.
Winter was the only season every Lake-Lander feared…

But as love blossoms, a dark discovery reveals the sanctuary’s secret past. One that forces the pair to question everything they’ve ever known.
An action-packed and thought-provoking debut, for fans of Patrick Ness, Marcus Sedgwick, DREAD NATION and The Walking Dead.
