Bill Wood
This is a contained, high-pressure murder mystery with horror elements: an isolated theme park, a stalking mascot, successive deaths and a buried history that the protagonists must unravel.
Jon Klassen
Choose this for a child who enjoys eerie folktales, unusual friendships and stories that leave some things to imagine. The visual mood is shadowy, but the skull is presented as polite and friendly rather than simply frightening.
Christopher Edge
This is a fast-moving horror adventure built around a familiar childhood game becoming strange and threatening. Its unusual file-based presentation adds mystery, while the friendship between Adam and Sol gives the frightening situation an emotional centre.
Lisa Richardson
A spooky social-media horror story about amateur ghost hunters pursuing missing vloggers into a dangerous house. Its distinctive video-diary presentation and page progress bar are intended to make the investigation feel immediate.
Alexis Henderson
This is a dark supernatural story about a bereaved teenager who enters a dangerous bargain to investigate her sister’s death. Its central pull is the tension between serving Death and finding reasons to keep living.
Jess Popplewell
A dark, imaginative fantasy about a teenager navigating homelessness, fractured relationships and a dangerous supernatural bargain. Its central appeal is the collision between recognisable adolescent difficulties and a modern vision of Hell.
Amy Goldsmith
A claustrophobic sea-set mystery with supernatural and mythological elements, it offers suspense, eerie atmosphere and questions about trust. Liv’s scholarship places her among wealthy influencers, giving the investigation a social-inequality strand alongside disappearance, romance and horror.
