## Description

The second title in a spine-tingling middle-grade horror series by award-winning author Christopher Edge, perfect for 9+ fans of Goosebumps. Nobody knows who started the Darkive. It's a database filled with first-hand accounts of strange, unexplained experiences. Ghosts; paranormal entities; weird anomalies. Each one is stored with a bank of evidence to prove the story. Are you ready to dive in? Feeling ignored by her friends on a school residential trip at a creepy old manor house, ten-year-old Hazel meets a girl called Alice from another school, who is also on residential and feeling a bit lonely. Together they hatch a plan to get their own back, inventing a legend about a resident ghost who haunts the house to fool their friends. But as the spooky games and tricks they plan become a little too scary, Hazel starts to wonder if Alice is pushing things too far…
