Synopsis

Join the wonderfully weird Otherhand family and their faithful guardian, Edgar the raven, and discover the dark secrets of Castle Otherhand.

Solstice and Cudweed are appalled to find their father has appointed a new school master. But things get even worse when the grumpy, viciously mean teacher actually arrives. The Otherhand children are sure there's something more to him than meets the eye - the trouble is, who will believe them? No one it seems. Except, perhaps, Edgar.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Rachel

"There's a thing called hindsight, which does not refer to looking at people's bottoms, as I suspect Cudweed things it might." 3 stars. This book in the series is more of a mystery theme. I didn't enjoy it as much as the first two but it was still a good read as I was able to still get some smiles......more

Goodreads review by Ashleigh

I really liked this book and found it hard to put down when I had started reading. A really fun book with a great perspective as it is from a crow that lives in the castle itself. It works really well as a stand alone book as well as part of a series as nothing gets brought over from previous books.......more
