Signora Valentine is back. A spirit medium show called Signora Valentine as Her Shadows of Dead is in rehearsal at the theatre. A candle is being lifted by a ghost. Matilda has a ghost as a best friend, a young boy Edgar Wilde.
MY REVIEW
My favourite part in the story is when Matilda Edgar visit a very old shop, with a rare doll, and a replica human skull. So much more exciting ghostly, things will happen next. Middle grade readers are going to have so much fun reading book 2, The Ghost of London. I enjoyed reading both books 1 and 2 so I do hope there will be book 3.
