We are so ready to celebrate Halloween by watching our favourite scary movies. With a tween and a teen we watch a lot of horror movies, which is why we were intrigued by the sound of How To Survive a Horror Movie by Scarlett Dunmore.
How To Survive a Horror Movie
Horror movie enthusiast Charley is determined to keep a low profile when she’s enrolled at a girls’ boarding school on a remote island. That is, until someone starts killing off her senior class! From elaborate scare tactics to severed heads in fridges, Charley has found herself at the centre of a teen horror movie. And that’s not the only alarming thing that’s happening – she’s now seeing the ghosts of her former classmates!
Haunted by her peers, and with everyone beginning to suspect her, Charley decides to do something about it. She and her only best friend Olive are going to solve the murders and find out who’s killing off the class before graduation. Charley just needs those pesky ghosts to shut up and give her a hand…
A fast-paced tongue-in-cheek YA novel about two friends trying to survive senior year – literally! Perfect for fans of Fear Street, The Midnight Club and the SCREAM franchise.
How To Survive a Horror Movie by Scarlett Dunmore is published on the 5th September by Little Tiger Press priced £8.99.
