Product description

Full of warmth, eccentricity, humour and plenty of action, DEMELZA & THESPECTREDETECTORS is the debut novel
from the multi-talented Holly Rivers, who played Drusilla Paddock
in ITV’s original Worst
Witch series!
‘Talking skulls, family feuds, red herrings and a spirited
(in every sense) heroine underpin this funny, fizzing debut that
also acknowledges the madness of grief.’ DAILYMAIL

‘Demelza doesn’t believe in ghosts! She doesn’t
even believe in the afterlife. This inner conflict enlivens Rivers’
humorous fantasy, as Demelza is forced to apply her logical
mind to problem-solve the strangest occurrences and defeat
the most ephemeral of nemeses. This gives the book a broad appeal,
which both STEM and sci-fi lovers will warm to.’ IRISH
TIMES

Demelza loves science – she loves it so much that she stays
up late to work on her inventions.

But she soon discovers
she’s also inherited a distinctly unscientific skill: Spectre
Detecting. Like her grandmother,
she can summon the ghosts of the dead.

But when Grandma
Maeve is kidnapped, Demelza and her pasty-faced best friend, Percy,
must leap into action to solve the deadly mystery …

A warm and eccentric middle-grade mystery story by debut
author Holly Rivers

Lockwood & Co meets Skulduggery
Pleasant with a fresh, funny twist

As a child, Holly was a lead actress in ITV’s
original Worst Witch series!
