Return of the Emerald Skull

Barnaby Grimes #2 / 4
by Paul Stewart, Chris Riddell
Return of the Emerald Skull (Barnaby Grimes #2) by Paul Stewart, Chris Riddell
Unrated

Barnaby Grimes isa tick-tock lad, running errands in his city, day and night, and high-stacking around the rooftops in search of new mysteries to solve. This is a fantastic romp through a Dickensian-style city, with a wonderful new hero in the guise of Barnaby.

After collecting a strange parcel from a deserted ship in the fog of the docks, and delivering it to the local schoolmaster, Barnaby thinks he’s earned a moment to sit on the rooftops and eat his favorite pastry. But soon he realizes that all is not well at the school – but is the problem quite as he expects it? A gruesome tale of a school overrun by a terrible curse – who will survive?
