Other editions of book The Shadows of Owlsnap

A time-slip ghost story in which a young boy's family move into a reputedly haunted house, and he finds himself involved in a life and death struggle with a gang of forgers who lived over 200 years ago.

Alastair has no time for anything unscientific, yet the rambling old house where he is staying gives him the strangest sensations a kind of giddiness, a hint of ghostly chill. And when he goes up to the Gable Room he gets the shock of his life.
