Anthony Horowitz’s classic gothic page-turner is brought to life
in full colour in this hilarious graphic novel adaptation. When
David Elliot is expelled from his boring school, his parents send
him to Groosham Grange to knock him into shape. But when he arrives
at the gothic castle on remote Skrull Island, he discovers Groosham
Grange is an unusual sort of school: from signing the register in
blood, to the creepy teachers – pallid Mr Kilgraw, Mrs Pedicure
bandaged head to toe, hairy Mr Leloup who disappears every full
moon... David teams up with fellow pupils Jeffrey and Jill to plan
his escape. But can anyone ever escape Groosham Grange? With puns
and visual jokes on every page, this is gothic humour at its best.
Praise for Groosham Grange: "One of the funniest books of the
year." Young Telegraph "Hilarious… Speeds along at full tilt from
page to page." Books for Keeps
'THE FRENCH SUSPENSE KING' NEW YORK TIMES 'ONE OF THE GREAT
THRILLER WRITERS OF OUR AGE' DAILY EXPRESS Paris, a misty night a
few days before Christmas: a young woman is saved from the waters
of the Seine. She is naked, doesn't remember her name or how she
ended up in the river, but is still alive. The mysterious woman is
taken to the hospital - and then disappears in thin air. DNA
testing reveals her to be celebrated concert pianist Milena Bergman
- but that cannot be: Milena died in a plane crash more than a year
before. As police captain Roxane begins to investigate, her fate
becomes intertwined with that of writer Raphaël Batailley,
Milena's former boyfriend, and the two are plunged deep into an
impossible enigma: is it possible to be alive and dead at the same
time?
