Join bestselling author Lucy Strange for a fun morning of spooky mysteries, ghosts and monsters – the perfect way to kick off Halloween season!
Meet supernatural sleuths Matilda Lockett and Edgar Wilde, the young detective heroes of Lockett Dreadfully Haunting Mysteries – a gloriously gothic mystery series for children, illustrated by Pam Smy. Follow them as they solve their first case in The Ghosts of the Manor, and discover a thrilling new adventure in The Ghosts of London. Hear how Lucy approached adapting the classic gothic monster tale Frankenstein by Mary Shelley for a new generation of young readers. Plus top tips and writing secrets that might inspire you to come up with a spooky story of your own.
Lucy Strange is the bestselling author of Lockett & Wilde’s Dreadfully Haunting Mysteries, The Secret of Nightingale Wood, the Waterstones Prize-shortlisted Our Castle by the Sea and other books for 8 -12 year olds. Her books capture elements of classic children’s literature in a style that is accessible for today’s readers. Often inspired by gothic, folklore and fairy tales, Lucy combines British landscapes and historical settings with the supernatural, creating convincing worlds in which anything might happen.
