Synopsis

Welcome to Shadowhall Academy, where spirits haunt the school halls.

I heard a tapping noise, right by my head. Like there was someone in the wall trying to get my attention...

When Lilian Jones starts at creepy, cold and bewilderingly large Shadowhall Academy, she's nervous about making friends. And when her roommates tell her the school is haunted, she thinks they're just trying to scare the new girl.

But then bizarre things start happening - tapping and whispers in the walls at night, tales of missing students and strange figures in the woods.

Lilian discovers that not only are the school ghost stories true, but her new friends could be in danger. So she sets out to uncover the secrets of Shadowhall Academy, whatever it takes.
