Just finished reading 'The Fetch of Mardy Watt'. I suppose the best way I could describe it is a fantasy chiller! I thoroughly enjoyed it and wondered if anyone else had read anything by this author.
For anyone interested, the blurb reads:
A Fetch is haunting Mardy Watt. This spooky double has been in her room, it's fooling her friends and it's upsetting her home life. And the trouble is, nobody realises what is happening except Mardy herself.
Exactly who has summoned the Fetch and why it is picking on her, Mardy doesn't know - but she does knowthat she has to find out before it takes over and replaces her completely.
Quotes by no less than Diana Wynne Jones and Susan Cooper:
Diana - 'A wonderfully creepy story. You will never see the world in quite the same way again.'
Susan - 'This is a marvellous, spooky, funny book, a fantasy like no other. Read it!'
I would agree with both of those eminent ladies. The Fetch of Mardy Watt is a great read.
