"A creepy, thrilling tale of family, fear and a babysitter with a monstrous secret.
On the damp, mysterious Gloam Island, Gwen knows there’s something wrong with the beautiful new babysitter. While everyone else is charmed by Esme Laverne, Gwen sees the truth: sharp teeth, hungry eyes and a growing hunger for her family.
To protect her younger siblings, Gwen must face the monster hiding in her home—and find the courage to confront her deepest fears.
Pickled Pepper Guest Bookseller Tasneem Abdur-Rashid says: "My 10-year-old loved this - it's the first scary book he's ever read, and beneath the horror is a powerful story about grief and suppressed emotions."
