About the book

It’s the night of Sir Percy’s midsummer costume party, and Mulberry Hall has been turned into an enchanting wonderland. But the evening takes a dark turn when grumpy guest Magnus Cooper is mysteriously poisoned.

The bumbling village policeman is baffled, so it’s down to Eliza, Bram and Krish to solve the mystery. Can they find out who had access to the bottle of poison? Did a demon really appear in the maze? And what on earth is going on down in Sir Percy’s cellar?

Barrington Stoke's super-readable layout and font is perfect for struggling and reluctant readers. Visit www.barringtonstoke.co.uk to see sample spreads from inside their books.
