Pictures in the Dark

Front Cover
2 Reviews
Puffin Books, 1998 - Emotional problems - 208 pages
It begins with a photograph Charlie takes for school. His shot of a swimming otter is striking -- and baffling, because there have been none in the area for years. As Charlie tries to find out where the animal came from, he keeps crossing paths with the unnerving Peter Luttrell. Why is Peter so fascinated with an ordinary photograph? Why do Peter's classmates call him 'Evil Eye'? And why do the mysterious otter's tracks lead directly to Peter's yard?
-- "A spellbinding novel of emotional suspense". -- Publishers Weekly, starred review

"A fantasy so real and so dangerous it creeps up on us without our realizing it and then pounces for the kill". -- William Sleator, author of Interstellar Pig

I've got to chapter 4 and I've realized I've read this book before and it wasn't that long ago either (maybe a year). It was definately different that's for sure, even wierd to tell you the truth. Read full review

Quite a good book, although the story was not elaborated well at some parts. Kept me on the edge of my seat though. Well-written, I would say. Read full review
