Raven Mysteries Pack Award-winning Pack by Marcus Sedgwick (author) (UK edition)

Weird and wonderful Gothic mysteries told from a raven’s-eye view! Spooky things are afoot at Otherhand Castle, terrorized by vampires, ghouls and a dark beast with a long tail! Can Edgar, the faithful guardian raven, solve these deadly mysteries… and stop everyone from having their throats torn out? The peculiar Otherhand family consists of crazy inventor Lord Valevine, his spooky wife Minty, ten-year-old pest Cudweed, and Solstice – the black-haired, poetry-writing daughter. No one pays much attention to Edgar. But when kitchen-maids start to vanish, vampires visit and ghosts in the Lost South Wing scare the household staff to death, it’s just as well that the hapless, hopeless Otherhands have this secret weapon in their midst!
