![]() ![]() On this journey, the duo take trip to the Eerie Book Dispensary, a place I particularly enjoyed reading about. In a quest to uncover the truth, Herbie and Violet face a number of challenges and solve a number of mysteries on their way. Set in the seaside town of Eerie-on-Sea, this book takes place in the winter, when the tourists have gone home and the locals are threatened by a dangerous sea monster called the ‘Malamander’. Who is this sinister man and what does he want with Violet? What really happened to Violet’s parents when they went missing over a decade ago? Then one day Violet arrives followed by a mysterious and frightening man with a hook for a hand. ![]() ![]() He spends his days finding clues to reunite lost belongings with their owners. Herbert Lemon, or Herbie to his friends, works in the Lost and Foundery at a local hotel. It’s children’s literature, but that didn’t stop my enjoying the story of 12 year olds Herbert Lemon and Violet Parma. I won this proof copy in a Twitter competition run by Wordery. Other characters in the story include Violet Palma, who is lost and needs to be found, and the eponymous Malamander, who controls people’s dreams. Malamander is told from the perspective of Herbert Lemon, the Lost-and-Founder of the Grand Nautilus Hotel, who tries to unite objects that have been left at the hotel with their owners.
