Who is waiting in the cave?

The Jenolan Caves Ghost Tour sounded like the perfect weekend for a ghost hunter. But I didn't realise I was letting myself in for a whole lot more than just a haunted hotel and endless family squabbles. Something was on our trail. Something vicious, mysterious, and very, very smelly.

Full of suspense, mystery and humour, the books in this series follow Allie as she investigates a number of possibly paranormal events with a mix of logic, intelligence and teenage attitude.

'Cleverly creepy, well-written and well-researched, this is a delightful spine-tingler and a great read.' The Sunday Tasmanian (on Eglantine)

'With great, unexpected twists in the story. This is a very addictive book, and I recommend it to anyone who wants an original mystery story.' Ambrose, Year 8 (on Eloise)

It is an engaging story, suitable for upper primary school students and an asset to school library collections.'Magpies, Vol 22'...a great story with elements of spookiness.'Matthew Meskell, 14, Examiner13 January 2007
