1976, Loo and her sister Bee have come to live at Iron Sike Farm with their parents, Cathy and Joe and their siblings. They are living a simpler way of life, being home schooled and things seem fine. Things however change when they start to hear a knocking and things go bump in the night. Now in the present Lucy ( Loo ) goes back to the farm where three students want to investigate what went on at the farm.

I really enjoyed this book a lot. I found myself flying through the pages as I really wanted to know what was going to happen next. The book goes back and forth between the past and present, and explores what went on at the farm.
The ghostly events that the girls, Loo and Bee experienced for me was very similar to the real events of The Enfield Haunting. Both were centred around the girls and in their bedrooms with poltergeist activity. The girls experience is creepy at times especially when Tib comes into the story.
What had my interested was questions that needed answering. Where was Joe, are the girls faking the hauntings, who is Tib, and what did happen to Bee. All this does come to light at the end but I felt perhaps a little rushed. I think I would have liked a bit more about Tib explored.
Overall I really liked this book. It's a story to keep to read when the nights are shorter and would be perfect reading at Halloween. The story is not all bumps in the night but also a family mystery.
Thank you to the publisher and @readersfirst for the opportunity to read the book.
