Doll

By Sallie Osborne

When an iPad accidentally left on records an unfamiliar and eerie night-time sound, thirteen-year-old Barnaby decides to take things into his own hands by investigating these odd goings further.
Eventually finding himself at the doors of 'The Bloody Cauldron,' a Gothic horror shop in town, owner Lottie Durant and her sister Aimée give Barnaby a diary. Telling of a deadly plague, linked to the appearance of two strangely hooded figures, there is also a paragraph that mentions a mysterious doll.
Enlisting the help of Julian Claridge, a rather flamboyant antiques dealer, Barnaby and his sister Ruby slowly uncover the whereabouts of the doll, a mysterious 300 years old child’s toy named Lulu. Containing the stolen memories of those killed by the bitter cold London winter of 1664 when ‘The Great Plague’ swept London and taking with it 80000 lives, it becomes clear that they must find the doll at all cost... unfortunately they aren’t the only ones looking.
