Lucas likes to visit his great gran. She's almost ninety and in a care home. Her mind has gone. She thinks she's still a little five-year-old girl. Lucas's girlfriend, Kay, has no time for the old woman. Until she and Lucas go looking for a long-lost doll that has been locked away in a wardrobe these past eighty years. How could they know the horror their search would unleash? Papercuts is an eerie and haunting series written to appeal to students aged 13+ who are intimidated by full-length novels. These sinister titles have a reading age of 8-9 and an accessible word count of 5,000-6,000. Written by respected and accomplished authors, they are packed with horror and elements of the supernatural. But be warned, they're not for the faint-hearted!
