An exciting adventure for you to enjoy
There are three main characters in this story, the main character is Mina. They go on a school trip and get lost and find a creepy cabin.
In the story people believe in a person called Bertie Blackteeth…. But you will have to read it to find out the truth.
The book was really interesting, a tiny bit scary but entertaining and kept me turning the pages. It was easy to read by myself in three nights so a good option for other 7 year olds.
