Reviews for The Fall of the Sparrow:

‘Griselda Heppel is great at creating tension, and this book is full of it! Eleanor Cooke is sent to boarding school after an incident at her previous school. The headteacher is her great aunt but Eleanor can’t understand why she avoids her. The house is full of mystery and dark corridors, and Eleanor meets Davey, an enthusiastic 6-year-old boy who calls her Robin – but why can’t anyone else see him? In and amongst all this intrigue is the story of Eleanor trying to settle at a new school where there are already established friendships and complex relationships. The story builds the suspension until all the mysteries are solved, and has an emotional ending.’
