DESCRIPTIONOn a poor Kentish farm, six sisters – Grace, Willa, Freya, and triplets Deedee, Darcy, and Dolly – live in fear of their violent father. Their beloved grandmother tries to protect them, but the future seems bleak. When the Full Moon Fayre makes a rare visit to Hollow-in-the-Marsh, the girls slip out to see the famous Shadow Man, an enigmatic puppeteer. Afterwards, the oldest sister Grace is missing. Can twelve-year-old Willa save her sister from one fate and yet outrun her own?

An extract from

SISTERS OF THE LOST MARSHLucy Strange Grammy opened the doors of her big cupboard. She lifted out piles of blankets, flannel petticoats and long winter undies, then she moved the clothes that hung on the rail in the middle, drawing them back like curtains to reveal the treasure that was hidden behind. Grammy’s secret library. The sun was coming in the low window, bright as fire, and it lit up the gold on the spine of each book. It lit up the cobwebs that hung all dusty between the black beams above us. It lit up Grammy too – our lovely Grammy – short and strong and wrapped in shawls, her long white hair hanging over her shoulder in a thick plait, her amber eyes glittering with mischief. ‘Now, it’s been a while since last time, girls,’ Grammy said, ‘so you’ll have to remind me who’s reading what.’ It isn’t exactly forbidden to read and write in our village, but the last woman caught reading was given the ducking stool down at Grey Brother’s Pond – twenty times up and down: splosh, GASP, splosh, GASP until all the learning had been washed off her. Grammy says it was even worse in her day – her friend Nell’s grammy kept books, and folks said she was a witch and she was burnt for it in the end. Some of the men

can read a bit – just enough to trade at market, or with the boats that come to the coast to buy and sell by lamplight. But no man would ever make a show of it, or folks would look at him sideways, and that’s the beginning of a bad end for anyone. So no one knows we can read. Even Dolly knows to keep it secret, and she’s silly as a goose. One by one we claimed our books. Frey was reading a book about ships and pirates – I think it must have had lots of exciting bits, because from time to time she went almost purple holding her breath. The triplets were reading Horrors of the Marshes together – well, Darcy was reading it aloud in a gruff whisper while Dolly and Deedee sat motionless, listening round-mouthed to stories about bog monsters and marsh mermaids. Grace shook her head when Grammy offered her the book she had been reading: ‘I don’t feel like it today, Grammy,’ she said quietly. ‘I’ll keep watch for Dadder.’ And she turned back to the window. ‘Here you are, Willa,’ Grammy said, and gave me Grace’s book instead. My sister had told me about it the last time we read together: it was a story about two sisters who fall in love with two handsome princes – one who seems kind but turns out wicked, and one the other way around. I opened it up at a picture of the sisters dancing at a royal ball with their long dresses swirling in the air. It was just the right sort of book for Grace; she loves to dance. In the spring time, with flowers in her hair and coloured ribbons all flying behind her; in the winter, wearing a crown of holly, chasing her slender shadow round and round the Yule fires. Grace is very well-named, I think.
