Thornhill is eerily reminiscent of Thornfield Hall in Jane Eyre with its dark corridors and hidden mysteries. Too scared to sleep, too uncomfortable to eat with others, Mary has become an isolated mute stuck in her room at Thornhill. She torments her, haunts her steps and takes every opportunity to make Mary's life a living hell. She is being severely bullied, but her bully has gone further than most. Mary is a unique child she's introverted and very talented, spending most of her time by herself creating her fantasies through making puppets. Perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman's Coraline, this story is haunting, mysterious and touching. Shortlisted for the 2018 CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal Summary: Dark and gothic, Thornhill tells the story of bullied girl through lavish illustrations and revealing journal entries.
