MY REVIEW
One of the best middle grade series in a long time! I really adore the Aveline Jones series by Phil Hickes. They bring so much adventure and excitement, makes you want to get cosy in the autumn and read them all in one go.
If you haven't read any of these yet, then check out my review of The Haunting of Aveline Jones first.
The Vanishing of Aveline Jones continues on her adventures but discovers that her uncle has disappeared. Where has he gone? Why can't anybody find him? Is there something strange going on in the village?
This is the third book in the series and it does not disappoint. Crammed full of mystery and spooky vibes for all the family.
