If you love the Wednesday series and all things creepy and scary, the Timothy Williams Saga by Iestyn Long is the YA series for independent readers that we recommend.
Set in a school that becomes the subject of a demon takeover, we follow main character Timothy, together with his two friends Rupert and George, all students at Great Underwood Upper. In each book, blood-thirsty, monstrous demons must be stopped in a battle for survival, as well as Timothy's own personal demons when his destiny of 'champion of light' is revealed to him.
The books are gothic, gorey and completely action-packed, perfect for any young reader who loves a dark adventure, but also funny and relatable, as Timothy deals with bad hair days and all the teenage awkwardness!
This is perfect for fans of Skulduggery Pleasant, Artemis Fowl and even Percy Jackson and The Olympians!
