Scary Lizzy

"Scary Lizzy, wherever you are, come home to me from afar," Sarah Wilde said, as she stared into her bedroom mirror. Sarah waited and thought about what her number one best friend Olive had told her. Olive had said all Sarah needed to do was to repeat this chant three times in front of a mirror and the scariest thing ever would appear - Scary Lizzy. Not for the first time Sarah worried that perhaps this wasn't the smartest thing she'd ever done. 'Scary Lizzy', a book for children seven plus, tells the story of what happens when a young girl, Sarah Wilde, summons up the ghost of a child from Africa - Scary Lizzy. Sarah Wilde grows up fast as she discovers that ghosts can teach you a lot, even if, like you, they are only eight years old.
