Are you looking for the perfect text to read to your upper KS2 class these dark afternoons? Try
'My swordhand is singing' by Marcus Sedgwick (no relation!) Drawing from the folktales of Eastern Europe, carefully reseached and beautifully written ,Sedgwick's story is full of brooding menace. It makes most vampire legends seems crude and silly. never has the quiet of the forest seemed so threatening. A worthy candidate for the Carnegie medal short list.
Nina Sedgwick, Kilburn
