'In both tales, Nye's prose is chilling and sparse, and works well to build tension as the ghost stories emerge... These scary stories are a great addition to any middle-grade collection.' -- School Library Journal.' 'Alex Nye's involving Chill is set near Stirling, in a snowbound house with a ghost in the library. It's a tense confection of mystery, historical intrigue and adventure for 8-12 year olds. Young heroes Samuel and Fiona find they cannot ignore a call from the past to put things right.' -- Lindsey Fraser, Sunday Herald
