I Think I Murdered Miss
WINNER OF THE UK PEOPLE'S BOOK PRIZE, 2014
My name is Simon Spittle and I think - no, I know, I murdered Miss Belcher. I don't carry a gun. Or a knife. Or even a toothpick, but yesterday, in French, I wished for her to be run over by a bus and, later that very day, she was. A big, red double-decker with yellow wheels and a picture of a clown on the bonnet. A Billy Smart's Circus bus.

Tiffany Sparrow Spook Slayer
My name is Tiffany Sparrow and my job is to slay spooks. It can be messy work, but I enjoy it. Mostly. I get to do a lot of travelling which is fun, but often just to crumbling tombs and spidery cellars. My mum was a slayer too; and so was my grandmother. I miss them terribly. They were killed, you see, by Grimdorf the warlock, so now there's only me and my old grandad left.
But the word on Voodoo Street is...Grimdorf's back.
And he's brought a few of his pals with him.

The British plan to put a dam on Gullfoss, a magnificent waterfall in Iceland, but Sigridur plans to stop them. Setting off to see the King, she must face scalding pools of hot mud, a scary wolf-man and the most evil of assassins, the ruthless Scarecrow, who must stop her at all costs.
Based on the Gullfoss Legends, this is a story for anybody who has battled but refused to give up.
