The captivating tale of time travel and adventure as a beautiful clothbound hardback, part of the Penguin Modern Australian Classics series

‘It’s Beatie Bow – risen from the dead!’
The game is called Beatie Bow and the children play it for the thrill of scaring themselves. But when Abigail is drawn in, the game is quickly transformed into an extraordinary, sometimes horrifying adventure as she finds herself transported to a place that is foreign yet strangely familiar . . .
