Award-winning master of scary stories Chris Priestley returns with
a spine-tingling collection of ghostly tales to chill you to the
bone ... When Maya and her classmates are asked to write a creepy
story with a winter theme, they come up with some brilliant ideas.
Rising floodwaters uncover long-buried bodies and ghostly children
take to the ice on a frozen canal. But as each of the stories is
read out in class, Maya grows more and more uncomfortable. She
features in each of her friends' creepy tales and they start to
feel a little too real. Finally, when a mysterious new girl stands
up to read the last story of the day, the light outside dims and it
starts to snow. The classroom starts to freeze but everyone is
trapped. Can Maya stop the story before the nightmare comes true?
A collection of short stories based on personal experience, funny
and often thought provoking. The characters are based on children,
teachers and parents that the author has met when a teacher or as a
child himself. Some characters appear in each story, particularly
Sam Peevis who is that boy known in every classroom for his cheeky
naughtiness. Meet Guy, James, Tony, Tracy, Mr Mizen and a boy who
never speaks. Have you ever tried cramming greasy, cold lamb and
white sauce in your pocket? Ted Mason was a teacher for many years
before working in China as an education adviser. He draws on his
experiences to describe real situations in a sympathetic and
amusing style. He has also written a book about his work and life
in Shanxi, China. The illustrations are water-colours by FeiYue, a
Chinese artist and designer in Beijing, reflecting a mix of Chinese
and Western styles.
