Synopsis

When a mysterious island emerges from the River Riddle, panic spreads through Owlchurch. It's the Island of Ghosts, where ghosts of past Rymers dwell in afterlife. Its appearance means only one thing: a living Rymer is in mortal danger. Only one known Rymer lives. Thomas Trew. A plan is quickly hatched to send Thomas back to London where he is safe from the dangers of the Hidden World, but Thomas has other ideas. He loves living in Owlchurch - now his real home - and can't bear to leave all his new friends for boring, dreary London. Thomas soon devises his own daring plan to search the island to seek his mother, Mab, a past Rymer whose ghost must live there. And so awaits a dark and dangerous adventure as Thomas enters the island's door ...

Media Reviews
Thomas Trew and the Hidden People: 'The first of six rumbustious adventures, it enjoys Blytonesque jollities and gorgeous grotesques drawn by Ted Dewan.' Amanda Craig, The Times 'Keeps you so curious you don't want to put the book down! I'd give this book 10 out of 10 because it is adventurous and exciting.' Cork Evening Echo Sophie Masson is decidedly a captivating narrator who certainly knows how to hypnotise her readers. Lollipops Reading one of Sophie Masson's books is like standing on top of a lonely mountain at midnight, under a star-filled sky ... Her work has that same sense of clarity, magic and mystery ... Garth Nix One of the strengths of Masson's work is this creation of parallel worlds of fantasy which interweave with the old folk tale but also produce echoes of myth. Australian Book Review Carabas: 'A sophisticated and timeless tale of magic and human nature.' Weekend Australian Clementine: 'A fabulous novel ...' Adele Geras
