The Haunting of Fortune Farm Summary

The Haunting of Fortune Farm by Sophie Kirtley

Sometimes, secrets dont stay buried forever. Sometimes, they need to be set free Twelve-year-old Edie and her younger brother Pip are spending half term at Fortune Farm, high in the Irish mountains, with their grandmother Lolly. They havent visited Fortune Farm for YEARS and Edie has been dreading it for MONTHS. They spent all their holidays there when Dad was alive. And Edie doesn't like thinking about Dad even the happy memories haunt her too much. When Edie uncovers a clue that could lead her to long-lost Viking treasure, it's just the adventure she needs to take her mind off Dad. But the adventure soon takes an unnerving and dangerous turn, and Edie discovers that Fortune Farm has more secrets, mysteries and ghosts than she had ever dared to dream. A spine-tingling adventure about the power of memories and the restless spirits that whisper on the wind An emotional and spine-tingling adventure perfect for fans of The House with Chicken Legs, A Girl Called Owl and A Pocketful of Stars. *** Ghostly and atmospheric and would have you glued to the pages until its satisfying end,' Nizrana Farook, author of The Girl Who Stole an Elephant

The Haunting of Fortune Farm Reviews

Sophie's third book lives up to all the expectations I had after reading the gorgeous The Wild Way Home and Way to Impossible Island. Here again are characters to love and a hauntingly beautiful setting of a remote farmhouse in the Irish wilderness. This is a ghost story, a mystery, and a book about love, belonging and grief. It's ghostly and atmospheric and would have you glued to the pages till its satisfying end Nizrana Farook, author of The Girl Who Stole an Elephant, on The Haunting of Fortune Farm
The Wild Way Home echoes Skellig and Stig of the Dump, with a bold, readable charm entirely its own Full of peril, sadness and wild joy, its a timeslip adventure with a difference * Guardian on THE WILD WAY HOME *
So good I read it twice * Hilary McKay on THE WILD WAY HOME *
I loved this unique, quirky story full of heart * Jasbinder Bilan on THE WILD WAY HOME *
A fast-paced adventure full of heart * Hannah Gold on THE WAY TO IMPOSSIBLE ISLAND *
Delivers in spades. It made me laugh, cry, gasp and turn the pages for one more chapter every time I had to stop * Nizrana Farook on THE WILD WAY HOME *
Dazzling storytelling * Hilary McKay on THE WAY TO IMPOSSIBLE ISLAND *
Amazing and brilliant and stupendous and all the exclamations * Nizrana Farook on THE WAY TO IMPOSSIBLE ISLAND *
I absolutely loved The Haunting of Fortune Farm its a ghost story with a thrillingly, dark Viking roar to it, but threaded through with such beauty and heart. The setting is superbly drawn and Edies courageous journey into the mountain will have you racing through the pages, but its also a story that carries huge emotional heft as its about memory and loss and learning to let go. Once again Sophie Kirtley has bought history to life in the most vivid and imaginative way possible. Shes a terrific storyteller. And everyone needs a younger brother like Pip! In the spirit of the kennings in the story I wrote these two about The Haunting of Fortune Farm; Page Turner Heart Mover Goosebump Maker Story Wonder Emotion Jangler Thought Puzzler Spine Tingler Story Sparkler Kate Wilkinson, author of Edie and the Box of Flits
