During a long, hot summer, two children, Stephanie and Stephen, go missing while on a school trip to Lud''s Church, a deep chasm in the heart of the Peak District. Porter and his friend, Sam, are sent to fetch help. When they return they are surprised to find that although Stephanie has been found, no one is even looking for Stephen anymore. Why can no one remember what''s happened him? What happened in the dark of Lud''s Church? And why does Porter get the feeling that supernatural forces from deep in the past are at play? Marcus Sedgwick fuses mythology and mystery to create a compelling tale that is perfect for less-confident readers.

Industry Reviews

`The print and layout is super-readable and the story and the pacey plot so thrilling even the most reluctant readers might find it hard to put down. I certainly couldn't.' Alex O'Connell, The Times `This book is the perfect combination of history and mystery for young adults and adults. Throwing up more questions than answers, it stays with you. I love the references to folklore and legend. KS3 parents, teachers and librarians looking for accessible, quality texts, with plenty of suspense and a dash of horror, this one is perfect in length and in its precision of language choices.' 5* Amazon review `Superb book, beautifully crafted. Beautiful sense of place and mystery, gripping human characters. So many books for young people are patronising, Sedgwick never is. He deals with important issues with such a light touch.' 5* Amazon review
