Book description
A brand-new story in the best-selling Princess Poppy series with
gorgeous coloured pages!
Poppy and Honey are going on holiday to France to stay with Honey's
parents in an enormous castle called Chateau Lafayette. They can't
wait. It is the first time Poppy has ever been on an aeroplane and it
is also the first time she has ever stayed in a castle. It is all so exciting!
But when they arrive everything is not quite as it seems - there are
locked doors, their things are mysteriously moved, a swing in the
grounds is swinging with no one on it, they find a map of secret
passages and they're sure they've seen a ghost in the woods.
Join Poppy and Honey on their spooky French adventure and find out
who is haunting their holiday!
Janey was born in Edinburgh and grew up by the seaside just
outside the city. Janey published the first two Princess Poppy books
herself (with her own illustrations) and the books were so popular
that Random House Children's Books soon bought the series and
re-packaged the books. The series is now going from strength to
strength, including picture books, novels for young readers, activity
books and sumptuous gift books.
Janey read English at Edinburgh University specializing in the
Victorian novel. Following this she became a teacher - a career that
she absolutely adored - and then, with her husband, set up The
Jelly Club, which has become an extremely successful chain of
children's activity centres in Scotland. She still very much enjoys
visiting schools and talking to children to find out what they like
doing and what makes them laugh. Janey and her husband live in
Edinburgh with their three sons.
