Part ghost story, part murder mystery - a creepy and magical tale steeped in Norse myth, perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman.

Welcome to the Circus of Myth & Mayhem - where performers re-enact tales of the Norse gods wearing masks which mysteriously change expression, the creepy jester isn't quite human, and the big top is full of the dead.
Martha arrives at the circus, deep in the forests of Northern Norway, determined to learn how Nina died. Did she fall from the trapeze as Stig said, or was there more to her 'accident?'
Drawn into a dangerous game of the gods, Martha must look behind the mask and see the truth . . . before it's too late.

Following the events of THE TWISTED TREE, THE CROOKED MASK continues the story of Martha and Stig as she comes to terms with her magical inheritance.

Все это началось в тот день, когда я упала с дерева у бревенчатого домика Мормор. В тот день, когда я ослепла на один глаз. Я напишу обо всем случившемся на этих страницах, какой бы сумасшедшей это, быть может, ни выставило меня перед теми, кто будет читать мое послание. Почему мама просто не рассказала мне все как есть? Эта мысль, она словно тугой узел, и как я ни стараюсь его развязать, он только затягивается все туже и туже. Если бы она только рассказала мне правду, ужасные события последних нескольких дней, возможно, никогда бы не произошли.

Part ghost story, part Nordic thriller - this is a twisty, tense and spooky YA debut, perfect for fans of Coraline and Michelle Paver.

Martha can tell things about a person just by touching their clothes, as if their emotions and memories have been absorbed into the material. It started the day she fell from the tree at her grandma's cabin and became blind in one eye.

Determined to understand her strange ability, Martha sets off to visit her grandmother, Mormor - only to discover Mormor is dead, a peculiar boy is in her cabin and a terrifying creature is on the loose.

Then the spinning wheel starts creaking, books move around and terror creeps in . . .

Set in the remote snows of contemporary Norway, The Twisted Tree is a ghost story that twists and turns - and never takes you quite where you'd expect.
