The Boy at the Window

Paperback

A spine-tingling ghost story from bestselling author Lucy Strange

But Hugo is convinced the ghost he has seen at the window is no trick of the fog. The boy’s hollow eyes are haunting him. What would happen if Hugo were to open the door and let him in? Brace yourselves for a chilling, wintery ghost story …
