The Demon
Notebook
By
Erika
McGann
The Demon Notebook is a first novel for young Irish
author Erika McGann and it’s aimed squarely at girls aged 9 and upwards. The
book taps into the current craze for ghostly stories and it is a well plotted
adventure with scares, thrills, friendship and laughs. The story has a similar feel
to Emily Mason’s Ghost Detectives and will appeal to fans of that title. Grace,
Jenny, Adie, Una and Rachel dabble in Witchcraft with no real success, but
they soon learn a lesson about messing with magic when they accidently unleash
a demon from beneath their school and all the spells in their notebook start to
come true. It’s spooky, scary and great fun. Erika grew up in Drogheda
and used her old school, St Oliver’s as the model for the school in the book.
Erika visited Waterstones in Drogheda to sign
copies of her book; she is pictured above with my eldest daughter Chloe and her
friends.
