In this young adult horror novel, a girl staying on a remote island suspects the tiny Victoria-era dolls in her familyβs old mansion are up to murder.
When her best friend dies under mysterious circumstances, Sophie sets off to stay with her cousins on the remote Isle of Skye. Itβs been years since she last saw themβbrooding Cameron with his scarred hand; Piper, who seems too perfect to be real; and peculiar little Lilias with her fear of bones. Still, Sophie never expected the strange new rules the family now lives by: Make no mention of Cameronβs accident. Never leave the front gate unlocked. Above all, donβt speak of the girl whoβs no longer there, the sister whose death might have closer ties to Sophieβs pastβand more sinister consequences for her futureβthan she ever knew.
A wondrously haunting and modern thriller, Frozen Charlotte drips with mystery and madness, secrets and survival, and the chilling sense that the impossible might be all too real.
