Bella: By Anne and Edward Syfret | 
I‘ve been flying through this vintage (1976) creepy YA novel and absolutely loving it.
It‘s 1938 and Sandy is spending the summer at her family‘s holiday home in Sussex with her new friend, Honorine. While exploring an abandoned property next door they discover an old French doll and Honorine quickly becomes obsessed with it. But “Bella” has a mind of her own. 😆
It‘s been a hot chocolate sort of day here as we‘re having our first snow!
