Looking for a haunting ghost story to deliver drama and suspense in equal measure? Lucy Strange’s ‘The Boy at the Window’ delivers both in this atmospheric tale that is sure to chill you to the bone! This novella tells the story of a boy named Hugo whose mannerly Victorian home in the English countryside is engulfed in a thick and mysterious fog. Strange’s masterful writing and Eason’s intricate illustrations draw readers deeply into the story in short dyslexia-friendly chapters.  Detailed fine lines rendered in dithery, hand-drawn style accompany each portion of the story. A unique feature of this book is that the pages appear to be softly aglow–awash in pale yellow color, leading readers into the fog and the mystery as the tale builds and builds to its shivering crescendo.
