Is there a ghost, as the kids at her new school say?
Or is it something stranger?
And why is there a tower with no door?
When the dried-up fountain in the overgrown garden suddenly spouts water and weird messages appear, Ellen must find her way into the mysterious, magical and dangerous world that has been waiting for her ...
SHORTLISTED FOR THE READINGS CHILDREN’S BOOK PRIZE
“
This book was enchanting and the mathematical and literary possibilities that could spring from a unit at school around this novel seem endless! Prediction will be a big topic of conversation for this book as it was impossible to gauge the direction it was going to go ... I highly recommend 88 Lime Street : The Way In.

88 Lime Street is carefully written and never really gets any scarier than spooky. It’s like a cross between Tom’s Midnight Garden and an episode of Doctor Who. A great book for kids 8 and up.
