More deep than some of Robert Swindells' other works, this book tells an alarming tale told by two narrators. Martha is a young girl, bullied at school constantly because of her scruffy clothes and her v. strongly religious parents. Basically she is a captive in her own home, and her family have a dreadful secret concerning who, or what, lurks in their cellar . . . This is a disturbing novel but really good, and I would definitely read it again, although once you know the twist it doesn't work quite as well.
