Bestselling author Paula Harrison, the mind behind some of our best-loved early chapter book series, The Secret Rescuers, Kitty's Midnight Adventures, The Rescue Princesses and Fairytale Ninjas, has delivered another fantastic girl-power series for readers aged 7+ who love sitting at the edge of their seats!
Ten-year-old brave and bold Robyn Silver is a middle child in a BIG family. Life is quite boring, and she often feels unnoticed, but then things take a very interesting turn. She can see creepy creatures ... that no one else can! Before she knows it, she becomes a Chime Child, a monster-hunter-in-training.
Robyn will meet mysterious owner Mr Cryptorum in the strange Grimdean House, defeat an evil vampire called Pearl, stop nightmares - in the form of black beetles - from showing up around town and, generally, she'll be catapulted headfirst into extraordinary adventure! And along the way, she gets to make two fantastic friends for life, Aiden and Nora.
This is a really fantastic series if you're on the hunt for a strong female character who also happens to have magical powers, perfect for fans of Hamish And The Worldstoppers, Darkmouth and Villains Academy!
