The Enigmatic Escapades of Elowen Evergloom

By Cassian Vale

The funeral bell has no clapper. At 3:17 a.m., it rang anyway. Then it said her name.

Elowen Evergloom did not scream. Screaming gives adults ideas.

She put on her dark glasses instead. She woke the very large, very quiet man who drives her family's coffin-black car. And she went to see what wanted her.

Most girls would call this a nightmare. Elowen calls it Tuesday.

At Saint Bartholomew's she finds a boy blamed for the impossible, a mark on the tower door that hums under her fingers, and a church that locks its own doors behind her. She clears the boy in four minutes. The church takes longer.

Because the dead of Grimwick aren't haunting. They're working. Something is giving them orders: steal this, dig there, scratch the mark, ring the bell. And every order leads back to Evergloom House, to a grandmother no one has seen in years, and to the fire that took Elowen's parents and left her with something gray-white burning under her skin.

Her fire can break whatever is holding the dead.

Which is exactly why the thing beneath the church doesn't want her gone.

It wants her.A gothic mystery that plays fairEvery clue is on the page. Luck never solves anything. Elowen does.Ghosts never explain themselves. They leave traces, repeat their orders, and obey.A heroine worth following. Twelve, unimpressed, and three steps ahead of every adult in the room.Spooky, not gory. Dark wit, real stakes, no romance. For readers 10 to 14, and for anyone who thinks the strange kid in the horror story should have been the detective.Wednesday meets Sherlock Holmes. Book One of The Enigmatic Escapades of Elowen Evergloom, for readers who loved A Series of Unfortunate Events and The Graveyard Book.
