The Tortured Wood

Summary

The Tortured Wood
by Malcolm Rose

  • Dillon is struggling to make friends at his new school and begins to suspect there's something rotten in the community, something they're trying to hide.
  • He finds refuge in the wood that seems to be at the heart of the mystery. Will the wood give up its dark secret?
  • Eerie and atmospheric - a thriller with a sting in its tail.

When Dillon’s family move to Bleakhill Top they can have no idea of the dark secret concealed by its insular community. Dillon seeks refuge from his hostile classmates in the wood that seems to lie at the very heart of the mystery. Discovering strange carvings, he starts to investigate their mysterious sculptor and suddenly finds himself in mortal danger.

“A gripping story ... Good spooky stuff.”
Adèle Geras, TES
