Frost Hollow Hall
Frost Hollow Hall | Emma Carroll
5 posts | 6 read | 3 to read
The gates to Frost Hollow Hall loomed before us. They were great tall things, the ironwork all twisted leaves and queer-looking flowers. And they were very definitely shut.Tilly's heart sinks. Will's at the door of their cottage, daring her to come ice-skating up at Frost Hollow Hall. No one goes near the place these days. Rumour has it that the house is haunted . . . Ten years ago the young heir, Kit Barrington, drowned there in the lake. But Tilly never turns down a dare. Then it goes horribly wrong. The ice breaks, Tilly falls through and almost drowns. At the point of death, a beautiful angel appears in the water and saves her. Kit Barrington's ghost. Kit needs Tilly to solve the mystery of his death, so that his spirit can rest in peace. In order to discover all she can, Tilly gets work as a maid at Frost Hollow Hall. But the place makes her flesh crawl. It's all about the dead here, she's told, and in the heart of the house she soon discovers all manner of dark secrets . . .Frost Hollow Hall is a thrilling historical fiction debut. Told in Tilly's unique voice, it is a tale of love and loss, and how forgiveness is the key to recovery.

Somebody was talking about this (maybe Jen Campbell?) and it looked to fit my overwhelming need to read something Properly Wintry. This is a beautifully creepy ghost story aimed at older kids - maybe 10-12. It‘s 1881 and Tilly is ice skating with a friend at Frost Hollow Hall when she falls through the thin ice and almost drowns - in stumbling through the ice she has also stumbled into the mystery of the Hall and it‘s haunted residents. 4 stars.

Centique I could belatedly use this for #winterwonderland #fireandice because when you fall through the ice you have to be brought inside and warmed by the fire! @cinfhen @trishb (edited) 6y
