The Book of Mysteries: Grimstone Mansion is a hit with readers and critics.
"I love children's middle-grade fiction, so I've been looking forward to reading this. It's not only a mystery adventure; it features magic and classic villains from mythology, such as the Cyclops, Minotaur and Medusa. Then, to cap it all, it features two adorable dogs, Dino and Mia. So, a book of mystery and magic, including monsters, ghosts and cute dogs - what's not to like?" 
  Gillian Young, Author of Poppy Loves Devon.
