The Skull in the Wood by Sandra Greaves
Requirements: epub/mobi Reader, 1.6MB
Overview: Matt goes to stay with his uncle and cousins on their farm – escaping London, his mother and her new boyfriend Paul who he clashes with. His own Dad is off sailing again, so Matt decides his uncle’s farm is ‘his best bet,’ even though he hasn’t seen them in years.
When he is picked up by his uncle, it is awkward. When their car seems to be attacked by black birds on the way back to the farm, Matt is rattled.
Matt and his older cousin Tilda clash badly.
Tilda is still grieving the loss of her own mother, (out on the moors alone) and also the fact that Matt’s mother made them sell paddocks so she could have her money out of the family farm.
When birds and animals begin acting weirdly around Parson’s farm, Gabe (a farm worker) warns Matt about a gabbleratchet – an evil creature that feeds on bad blood and anger. Jack asks Tilda to take Jack for a walk to Old Scratch Wood, but this is a place rumoured to be a place of the devil by locals.
Matt and Tilda discover a curlew’s skull, buried beneath a standing stone in the centre of the wood. And evil begins to take hold…..
