The girls contact Harriet’s daughter through an internet chat room and later question whether the person they meet is really their favourite author.
Megan and Annie are described as excited about arranging a secret meeting and congratulating themselves on being clever.
Harriet appears strange and edgy, while readers describe the story variously as mysterious, creepy, chilling, funny and heavy-handed.
Expect online contact, secrecy, uncertainty about identity and possible danger surrounding a meeting. Some readers describe the book as creepy or chilling, while another found it funny; the emotional effect may therefore differ.
