and jane and pete merrily going on their way, leaving troubled and straight-up vicious little girls all alone?

This is a fairly large book at about 540 pages, but many of the pages are illustrations which make it a fairly quick read. I loved that the book was half pictures/graphic novel and half diary entries, it made it a super quick read and also unputdownable. They bully to make themselves feel better about whom they are; they project their weaknesses and insecurity on to others they deem similar. I love too its ghosts, its tangle of literary references, and its ambiguity – but beyond all that, I love that Thornhill refuses to be anything but the perfectly conceived and exquisitely executed story that it is.It challenges many of the boundaries that publishing convention has put into place, and raises many questions about genre, age recommendations and the role that illustrations can play in a narrative. The actions of Ella are depicted in image followed by Mary who narrates her experience within her diary. and as a general rule couched in a very specific example - if you’re going to show a picture of a door that is meant to have a word scratched on it, even if that detail hasn’t yet come up in the story, you have to either show the word or make different decisions about your composition, because its absence will be noted during a second-read.

T hey all came back and told me that they loved it and saw it as an exciting supernatural adventure – they were nowhere near as frightened as I was because they ran alongside the two protagonists as they read, and shared their fear and their flight. I really didn't see this coming but Ella also dies too :/ She finally gets into Thornhill and we see her with another figure who we suspect to be Mary but then lightning strikes and the house goes up in flames, consuming her.

I have worked with many schools across the UK assisting them with setting up a new Library, class set text, classroom books, text books etc and I would like to offer you my services. Mary is selectively mute and we read her story through her diary entries as well as in the wordless, full page monochrome illustrations.

With Thornhill, David Fickling publishing has, wittingly or unwittingly, thrown down the gauntlet to the rest of the publishing industry.in another it's a ghost story in another it pays tribute to the dark-sinister-house genre most famously seen in Hitchcock's Psycho. Pam has illustrated books by Conan Doyle (The Hound of the Baskervilles), Julia Donaldson (Follow the Swallow) and Kathy Henderson (Hush, Baby, Hush! As she unpacks boxes in the bedroom of her new house, Ella catches a glimpse of a crumbling, forsaken house beyond the overgrown garden she sees from her window. That is to say: I was racing to finish reading it before sunset because I’m not about to be scared out of leaving my bedroom.
