After a terrible tragedy, governess Julia Pearlie finds herself
with no job, home, or references. When she’s offered a position
as companion to Miss Olivia Richmond, her luck appears to be
turning. But Mistcoate House is full of secrets. Olivia has a
sinister reputation. The locals call her the Mistcoate Witch,
thanks to her tarot readings, and her insistence that she can speak
to the dead. Her father, Dr Richmond, believes this to be girlish
fantasy and is looking to Julia to put a stop to it. Determined to
prove herself and shake off her own murky history, Julia sets to
work trying to help Olivia become a proper young lady. However, as
she becomes a fixture at Mistcoate, it is soon clear that there may
be more to Olivia’s stories than Dr Richmond would have Julia
believe – not least because somehow, Olivia seems to know
something of the darkness that Julia desperately hoped she had left
behind. As the danger grows, and the winter chill wraps around the
dark woods surrounding Mistcoate, Julia will have to fight to
uncover the truth, escape her past – and save herself. Original
and engrossing, this chilling Victorian Gothic ghost story is an
outstanding piece of storytelling, perfect for fans of Sarah Perry,
Erin Morgenstern and Jessie Burton.

This is a revolutionary phonics system for teaching children to
read. It will also be effective in teaching reading to illiterate
or semi-literate adults. The author is a reading expert who
home-schooled her own seven children. She used every available
phonics system, and found them all wanting. She realised that 30%
of children are left behind by traditional phonics systems. She
found that children are quick to use number clues to identify the
different sounds of each letter. By tagging the letters with a
number, she prompts the student to recall the specific sound of
this letter. And she applies this system to all the 84 major sounds
in English. Who should use Number Phonics? Home-schoolers. Parents
who want to give their children a jump start. Parents whose
children are struggling. Classroom teachers and reading
specialists.
