Unique, Exciting & Engaging

The Turnkey Of Highgate Cemetery by Allison Rushby is an entertaining children’s novel that I thoroughly enjoyed. It is perfect for ten years and over.

The action is set during World War II in London. We join a young girl who is deceased and who also looks after the dead in Highgate cemetery. She is the turnkey. She witnesses the destruction of London, and stumbles upon a deceased Nazi officer with evil intent.

There are battles between good and evil as the veil between ‘now’ and the afterlife grows thin.

Family is important. Family make a difference. We all want someone to love us.
