A chilling mystery told through a
combination of diary entries from 1982, and drawings from 2017, “Thornhill” is
a wonderful ghost story that will delight and haunt young and grown alike. It
deals with bullying, and the complications of growing up in a young girls
orphanage in the 80’s. The beautiful watercolor and ink illustrations are
haunting and brimming with detail, and will enthrall readers with every page.

you enjoy this, you may also wish to try The Invention of Hugo Cabret: a novel in words and pictures,
by Brian Selznick, The Secret Garden, by Frances Hodgson Burnett, Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte or The Mysterious Benedict Society, by Trenton Lee Stewart.]
