![]() On this journey, the duo take trip to the Eerie Book Dispensary, a place I particularly enjoyed reading about. In a quest to uncover the truth, Herbie and Violet face a number of challenges and solve a number of mysteries on their way. Set in the seaside town of Eerie-on-Sea, this book takes place in the winter, when the tourists have gone home and the locals are threatened by a dangerous sea monster called the ‘Malamander’. ![]() Who is this sinister man and what does he want with Violet? What really happened to Violet’s parents when they went missing over a decade ago? Then one day Violet arrives followed by a mysterious and frightening man with a hook for a hand. ![]() He spends his days finding clues to reunite lost belongings with their owners. Herbert Lemon, or Herbie to his friends, works in the Lost and Foundery at a local hotel. It’s children’s literature, but that didn’t stop my enjoying the story of 12 year olds Herbert Lemon and Violet Parma. I won this proof copy in a Twitter competition run by Wordery. Other characters in the story include Violet Palma, who is lost and needs to be found, and the eponymous Malamander, who controls people’s dreams. ![]() Malamander is told from the perspective of Herbert Lemon, the Lost-and-Founder of the Grand Nautilus Hotel, who tries to unite objects that have been left at the hotel with their owners.
